Half at the Holy Tavern in Clerkenwell. This was a good way in to an All in pub tour so its a bit hazy. A reasonable pale with a touch of spice. Not bad.

44cl can, BB 19/06/2026 partagée avec Vincent.
Dorée léger, col blanc.
Arôme est frais parfumé, assez délicat avec ce trio houblonné - léger agrumes, fruits blancs avec une point ede malt/cérales.
Palais est sur une base plaisante légère malté - pâle, fruits blancs, petite note rappelant la mangue - floral finement amer et assez sèche.
Légère et facile à boire, manque juste un peu de profondeur avec l'éventail de houblons utilisés.

Can. A Xmas gift from the missus. Soft haze on a medium gold. Slim sticky lasting white foam. Nose has fruity light spicy light herbal character on top of clean bready malt. Taste is semi sweet with moderate bitterness and a faint tingle of spice from, presumably, the ginger. The juniper and orange zest are noticeable but subtle. Light spicy bitter finish. Nice one. Comes together really well.
