Cask at Society Rooms, Macclesfield Pours a pale lemon yellow with a small white head and good lacing. Has an aroma of lemongrass mixed with some generic citrus. In the mouth it is a bit watery but quite sharp. Flavour is mainly lemon and floral hoops but with some apples and hints of grains. Finish is bitter with some citrus. Quite nice to accompany my curry.
