Clear golden color with small white head. Mild aroma. Medium body and a soft to average carbonation level. Moderate sweet and a moderate bitterness. Semi dry ending. Malty, fruity and quite rich grassy/herbal flavor. Decent enough.

Handpull cask at the Geldart, Cambridge. Light yellow, nearly straw, clear with a small white head and quite an impressive amount of lacing. Light citrus notes with light cooking spice and a slightly soapy note. Surprisingly bitter taste with some fruity sweetness but otherwise unrelenting. Long astringent bitter finish. Wood chips and lemon juice in the aftertaste. Not all that keen, and itโs not all that surreal...
