Bottle at the Parsons Nose, Hillsborough, 14/09/19. Clear light golden blonde with a well presented just off white covering, carbonation well evident. Nose is orange zest, light soap, hint of pine, toasted grains, lemon drizzle. Taste comprises melon, orange pith, grass, light soapy edge, airy malts. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with grassy hop bitterness and a slightly astringent twang. Average fayre... soapy notes are a little OTT and detract from this one ... not a great.
