Golden, thin head. The base sour is wobbly -a bit over the top yoghurty lacto. Ok El Dorado notes but this is definitely a suboptimal performance.

GABF 2014. I assume this is the version served. Yellow color; light haze in the color. Some hops, enough you know they are there. Lightly sour flavor. This is solid. Dry yeast and flowers in the finish.

Draft at the Great British Beer Festival 2014, Day 1 - London. Pours clear yellow with a light foamy head. Nice balance, clean with zippy lemon, light sweetness, some citrus rind and bitter grass. Light in body with fine carbonation. Lightly rindy on the finish with mellow tartness, some citric acidity. Good stuff.
