Cask at the Greyhound, half pint shared with Finn. Patchy, white surface. Near clear dark golden body. Spotty lacing. Smell of lemon, dark fruits and almond. Malt-fruity flavours including lemony hops, bread and caramel. Malt-fruity, mid-dry bitter finish. Medium bodied. Quite tasty stuff (Derby 16.02.2016).
