Cask pint, hand-pulled in the lovely Imperial, a Weherspoon's place in Exeter on 28th Sep 2019. Pale blonde body, full and lasting white head. Refreshing more than exciting, grassy/floral/hoppy nose, similar breakdown flavour wise, subtle citrus feel throughout.

Bottle from Darts Farm, nr Exeter. Gold with a rapidly vanishing white head and a rather aggressive fizz. Smell of green leaves, plant food and grapefruit. Taste is much the same, with a slight dryness and moderate bitterness. It's clean and crisp and refreshing, with a decent amount of hops for a UK gold, but I don't the flavour of the hops. I must learn what hop it is that gives this green leaf and plant food taste - which I also get and dislike in, for instance, Stella Artois and Wadsworth Henry's IPA - so that I can avoid beers with it in.
