Half-pint, well kept cask ale at Barrel Vault (JDW). A deep golden body under a tiny white head leaving spotty lacing on the glass. Aromas of citrus, hints of lemony hops, promising. Hop fruity flavours, impacts of lemon and orange, balanced by a subdued note of caramel malts. Pretty nice bittersweet finish. Pleasing. (St Pancras, London 03.03.2026).
