On cask at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - hazy golden amber with a decent head. Nose - some rotten eggs at the start unfortunately. Then lemon and pale malt. Taste - oranges and biscuits. Palate - medium bodied with a tangy and crunchy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - it’s a bit gnarly but it grows on you. A bit too challenging.
