Cask at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green, 30/12/13. Lightly hazed golden with a moderate off white covering that retains well, decent lacing ensues. Nose is lightly hopped, orange, citrus fruits, bread dough. Taste comprises orange pith, grass, soft bread dough, lemon rind, light tropical fruit notes. Medium bodied, soft carbonation leading towards dry grassy bitterness in the closure. Solid GB affair.
