Keg at Fierce Bar. It pour murky reddish - amber with a small white head. The aroma is sticky, piney, resin, varnish, perfumed, jammy fruits and Victoria sponge. The taste is fairly dry, harsh, bitter, piney, rawness, resin, rubbery, touch of jammy red fruits, soapy citrus and some raw grains with a lingering drying finish. Average carbonation and body. Aroma is quite nice, but the taste is harsh and raw. Not Pilots best...
