Cask at Bay Hop, Colwyn Bay. Aroma has the trad boiled veg - plus chunky malts. Ampersand have nailed this! Clear copper gold. Thin foamy translucent white head soon thins out. Flava combines light-medium sour citrus with a caramel streak. Underlying malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. If Ampersand were aiming to give a slight boost to a veg soup Golden Ale, they're done it.
