Keg at the brewpub - Jackson. Pours clear, pale yellow with a creamy, white topping. Light sweet flavour, quite dry, some lemon peel, pine needles, freshly cut grass. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with notes of lightly bitter citrus peel, flinty minerality. So so, not a lot to it.
