Third, shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, KegStar Bar. Pearl white head leaving clingy lacing behind, cloudy golden body. Inviting smell of ripe citrus. Apricot and citrus to the taste buds, a piney touch to the ending. Refreshing and fine bodied. (Third day of the festival, 24.01.2020).
