Cask @ Red Squirrel, Edinburgh 300412
Light golden amber, clear, frothy head, some lacing
Aroma - soft citrus fruits, some light sponge cake mix (!)
Taste - herbal hops, spicy zingy peppery hops, cake mix with a touch of vanilla, unusual flavour
Palate - soft carb, thin body. Finish as main flavour, lingering bitter (as usual for SWB), bitter zest. Very dry, bit too bitter on the finish
Overall - a half is enough, too dry

Cask gravity at Reading Bf 2012. Clear gold lasting white head. Touch of butter on aroma. Some very decent hops. Bit of dry grassiness. Some yeast on aroma. Its a tasty enough beer. Decent condition. Its a decent golden beer. Quite a light feel to it.
