Cask at the Lyric - London. Pours clear yellow-gold with a white foam head. The nose holds grassy hops, pale bread, dry grain, lemon rind. Light sweet flavor with forward grass and pine bitterness, some pith and rind, biscuits. Light bodied with average carbonation; good condition. Moderately dry on the finish, with some hop oils, more bitter grass, citrus rind. Good, but perhaps a touch too bitter.

Cask at the Lyric, 16/04/14. Hazed orange amber with a decent beige covering. Nose is pale malt, straw, lemon rinds, light bread dough, tangerine. Taste comprises lightly smoked straw, citric peel, soft bread. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close with an earthy hop presence. So so, lacks hops and a touch too dry.

Cask at The Lyric. It pours hazy golden with a medium, bubbly white head. The nose is bitter-sweet, juicy tropical fruits, tangerine, orange, candied peel, brioche and earth. The taste is assertively bitter, drying, straw, grapefruit, lemon, orange rind, soap, pepper, grassy, hop astringency and dull herbal notes with a drying finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. A bit too harsh on the drying bitterness if truth be told. Alright.

Solid session stuff.
