Cask at the Cleveland Arms, London. Pours clear gold with a fine, white cream cap. Pleasant aroma of wet straw, lemon and pale malts. Light to medium sweet flavor with some playful, citrusy hops, pale malts, crackers, lemon, hay. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Clean finish, fairly sweet with some white bread, straw, semi-ripe citrus. I swear to Christ this pub takes average beers and makes them much better.

Filmy, white layer to a near-clear, golden-amber body. Citric aroma. Taste of lemon and grapefruits followed by a mid-bitter aftertaste. Fine bodied. Refreshing half, hand pulled from cask at The Duck and Drake in Leeds, 11.07.2010.
