Level 6 Bottleshare. Thanks to Leighton. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and fairly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Light dry sweetish malts. Tangy light grape. Mild lemony citrus. Little floral on the light finish. Light and drinkable but perhaps a little subtle for me.
