Ale House, Chelmsford. Cask. Light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly white head. Palate is smooth and semi dry. Fine carbonation. Sweetish pale malts, touch of honey which integrates nicely with the orange peel hops. Lemon rind starts sweetish but turns bitter and tangy. Lingers on in to the aftertaste. Little hop spice. Decent if a tad tangy.
