440ml can at Woolley Grange, Bradford-on-Avon on 22nd July 2023. Pours slightly hazy amber with shallow, but lasting off-white foam and scant lacing. Zesty citrus peel and caramel malt aroma. Grapefruit citrus in-mouth, and a finish of citrus peel and grapefruit juice. Light body and a zingy mouthfeel.
