Golden with a white head. A bit of fruity citrus hop, lightly malty, and a hint of “green.” Medium bodied. It’s fine.

Cask at The Bull, Brum. Opaque copper gold. Thin frothy foamy translucent white head. Initial woody bitterness is followed by sweet sugary fruit. Light-medium bodied..Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Pleasent if unexciting. Deducted points for the gradually not great tasting finish.
