Keg at the Star of Kings, KingsCross. Aroma has light citrus and malta. Pale slightly opaque gold. Thin foamy translucent white head. Light-medium sour. A hint of sugariness. Underlying malta. Light-medium bodied. Thin. Average carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Boring.

Pours a clear gold, small white head, moderate retention. A floral, citrus and grapefruit aroma - decent punchiness. Taste again quite floral with a leafy bitterness but does have some sweet citrus, grapefruit and malt. Medium bodied, slightly dry. Decent.

[33cl can from Lowcostbeer.com] A murky straw coloured pour with a billowing white head; grainy aroma; lemony citrus taste; then nothing more.

Keg draught at the Royal Albert, New Cross. Light to mid-golden and clear with a ring of white head. Gentle citrus aroma with some caramel. Sweet taste, some bready malt with hoppy fruit notes and a slightly bitter finish. Carbonation on the heavy side. Kind of a pale-by-numbers but to be honest I don't mind that in this heat. And it's for a good cause. And I love the reference. Bona!
