Sir John Oldcastle. Spoons. Cask. Lightly hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Papate is airy and semi soft but has decent fine carbonation. Sweetish pale malts in good balance with modest orange citric hops. Little light floralness, very slightly perfumey. Finishes airy and slightly crisp. Pretty drinkable.
