18th May 2012: hand pulled pint in The Cock Hotel, Wellington. Pale amber body with a creamy head of off-white foam on top. Nose and taste are both mildly citrus with a semi-sweet caramel undertone: nice blend and easy to drink. No world beater, but a steady brew with a medium body strength and enough depth of flavour to please.
