Cask at GBBF 25. Slightly opaque orange-amber. Frothy foamy translucent white head. Aroma is sweet and fruity with a drop of caramel. Flavourwise it's more sour with a chewy caramel streak. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Light-medium bodied. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice.
