Cask at the Wellington, Birmingham. Poured a clear medium amber with a bubbly white head. The aroma is light hop light malt. The flavour is moderate bitter with a citrus fruit, malt hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Apparently un-retired in 2014 and a superb session ale!
