Draught keg at the Albion, Kingston upon Thames. Light gold and clear with a good-sized white head and considerable visible carbonation. Light aroma. Quite piney, grassy, resinous with candied orange notes. Taste is very sweet, with loads of candy sugar and citrus peel. Bitterness on the finish but in balance it remains a sweet beer. Light body for the ABV, softly carbonated. Doesn't give me the biggest Westy vibes but I still like it.

On tap at their Heathrow taproom. Pours clear pale gold with a white head. Crunch malts and sweet, sappy pine on the nose. Flavour has a very sap-like pine character with resins and a chewy biscuit malt base. I'm not sure I love the hop expression but it's decent and has a good body.
