Cask at Smithfield, Derby Pours lemon yellow with a small white head and good lacing. Not much of a nose – just a vague aroma of hops. In the mouth there are floral hops with some citrus leanings and the finish is slightly bitter. Pretty nondescript really.

Cask gravity at Kent & East Sussex Railway BF 2016. Very pale gold clear lasting white head. slight herb slight flower aroma. Yes very light. Not sure it entirely works. Just not enough backbone. Fine. Great condition. No faults just a bit too light on the malt for me.
