Good light yellowish, dense head over lazily carbonated clear, darker golden beer. Faint spicy/herbal nose, demure. Hops slowly coming through - UK hops mainly. Bit of grain. Quite bitter taste, growing, but rather indifferent. Dry hop bales flavour, quinine. Tad grassy in the background. Medium bodied at best, gristslickness. Indifferent says it all.

Cask at Craft Beer Co, Covent Garden on 1st November 2014. Slightly hazy amber with lasting whitish lacing foam. Rich aroma of grapefruit and cheesy yeasts. Grapefruit abounds in-mouth with soapy notes and bitter lemon zest. A bitter citric finish with grapefruit and peel. Engaging mouthfeel and plenty of body.
