King William IV, Leyton. Almost clear gold beer. Sparse white bubbles for a head. Palate is slightly soft. Medium carbonation. Mild creamy malt. Okay hops - tangy orange and minor tangerine. Finish is quite dry and has an unusual apple aftertaste.

Not zesty, but certainly fruity with tropical hops abundant in aroma and taste.
