Keg at the Cock Tavern - Hackney, London. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. Pleasant citrusy hops in the aroma, a bit of rind, pale bread. Medium sweet flavor with more rindy citrus, pale bread, tangerine, light piney bitterness, some melon, minerals, papaya. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Lightly resinous to close, with some gooey citrus that’s dried out with some cleansing minerality, balanced with pale bread sugars. Just a little grass. A nicely compelling IPA.
