Cask @ Hop & Vine, Hull. Yellow gold. Clear with a decent showing of a white head. Very faint aroma. A bit of lemon, spruce, soap. Taste is ok, nothing out of the ordinary. Sweet at first rounding to a bitter finish with a hint of sour. As boring pale beers go, this is at least clean and refreshing.
