Okay weak foam and clear yellow body. Smells like soft peach. Flavour is soft lager with fruity apricot notes. Medium finish. Drinkable though not exciting.

A3, N8, T7, P4, O15
Pale yellow, light haze, frothy white head
Aroma of citrus zest, grapefruit, lemon zest, fresh hops, slight grassy edge

Palate - Soft carb, medium light body, good balanced zest bitterness. Finish is clean, bitter zest linger
Overall - Decent beer, better than the pale

On cask at Euston Tap London. Clear pale gold colour no head. Floral almost perfumed hoppy very pale ale. Not much malt. Some bitterness on the finish and slightly harsh hop finish. Flowery. Fairly likeable though.
