Bottle bought at General Store, Winchester. The design labels reveal that this is in fact hopped with Azacca and Mosaic. It even has the style, which was lacking on the old labels. Aroma has a pinch of citrus and spice over grainy malts. Clear amber gold. Thin foamy translucent white head. Malty golden ale is essentially what I am getting. There's cardboard. It's dusty. A touch of citrus sourness and quinine, which admittedly grow in strength but never pop. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. For me this just lazy. Old school twiggy stuff with US hops chucked in.

Cask (Bookshop Alehouse, Southampton) - Light amber in colour. Peach, grapefruit and biscuity malt in the aroma. Hoppy and zesty taste with pine, peach, grapefruit and syrup standing out. Very nice indeed.
