Cask at the Pure Bar and Kitchen, Birmingham. Poured a clear medium amber with a big super frothy white head. The aroma is big yeast citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter with a big hop bitter, yeast, zesty citrus, light medicinal palate. Light bodied with average carbonation. Refreshing for sure but I’m not convinced by the aftertaste.
