Cask at William IV. Slightly cloudy light yellow colour with small white bubbly head. Strong lemony aroma. Quite flat in the mouth, and with not a massive amount of distinct flavour, just the lemon you get from the aroma and maybe a touch of grapefruit. Bit thin. Finish is slightly bitter. Perfectly drinkable, but not massively exciting.
