A burnt gold English Pale Ale. Some malt present in the nose with a hint of lime and lemon peel. Medium bodied with some biscuit character and more citrus present in the mouth. The finish shows a clean bitterness with a touch of lingering grassiness.

17/1/2019. Cask at the Firkin Alehouse, Folkestone. Pours dark gold with a small just off-white head. Aroma of hops, grain, grass, flowers and hint of biscuit. Light sweetness, moderate bitterness. Light to moderate body, slight watery texture, soft carbonation. Grainy finish with increasing bitterness. Quite bland overall and had expected better.
