A bit of a mixture between a session IPA and a cask bitter. A touch too lemony and even acidic for me, but refreshing and not bad.

Bottle form Asda, Stafford (not stocked in Crewe branch). The main aroma I get is grass cuttings with shades of citrus. Pours a golden yellow with a substantial frothy white head but low carbonation. In the mouth, it is a combination of honey and grapefruit that dominates with some hints of pine and herbs. Hoppy, but not overly so. Finish is dry and quite sweet. A bit strange, but quite nice.

Half-pint, cask ale at Barrels. Shared with Finn. Fair lacing from a small sized white head. Bright golden body. Smell of grassy hops with a lemony touch. Blended taste of honeyed malts and ripe citrus. Ends bittersweet. Clean on the swallow. Quite alright. (Hereford 01.02.2020).
