Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a very pale straw colour with a small white head. Has an aroma of floral hops, but with some malts in there too. In the mouth it has a watery texture and a vaguely hoppy taste, with hints of citrus, grains and spice. Finish is slightly bitter. Nothing wrong with it, but pretty bland all round really.

500ml bottle: BBE Jul 2021. Drank at home on 17th Jul 2021. Clear golden body, white head. Light citrus nose and taste, not too sure the Amerillo hop is strong enough to be alone, it needs some support.
