Keg at the Waterloo Tap. It pours hazy dirty blonde with a medium white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, kumquat, orange peel, hay, hop sack, grass and earth. The taste is crisp, bitter, sharp, waxy orange peel, kumquat, slight soapy notes, peppery spice, minerals, straw, metallic twang and grass with a lingering dry, zesty finish. Light - medium body and high, harsh carbonation. Harsh carbonation detracts from the overall experience, but overall it’s decent.
