Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Aroma? Maybe some malts. Light gold. Looks thin. Thin bubbly translucent white head. Light bitter with a citrus sour edge. Develops some underlying sweetness but also somewhat undone by a streak of boiled veg. To be fair, as I drink more the hop becomes more evident. Light-medium bodied. Slick if thin. Average. Long slightly astringent finish. Drinkable enough but definable a British IPA from an oldschool brewery in that the hop is almost an afterthought.
