Handpull cask at the Parcel Yard, Leicester. Dark gold, clear with a foamy off-white head and lots of lacing. Pleasant aroma of grapefruit and gooseberry, with hay and light vinous notes. Sweet citrussy refreshing taste with some gentle bittering hop in the background. Light suggestions of tea. A bit of a vegetal astringency in the aftertaste, otherwise this is a notch above the average golden ale.
