Keg draught from Bison Craft Beer (Hove). Light gold and incredibly hazy with a small white head and generous lacing. Pink grapefruit dominates the aroma with lighter notes of lemon and satsuma. Taste is sweeter than I expected but it is lush as opposed to sickly. Sugared grapefruit and fresh pineapple juice make way to a light but dogged bitterness which dominates the long finish. Thick body, soft to medium carbonation. Amazing stuff.

Keg draught at the Prince Albert, Brighton. Light gold, almost straw, hazy with an uneven white head. Sweet lemon drops and orange peel alongside a marshmallowy malt in the aroma. It tastes sweet, but not quite as sweet as the aroma suggests: there's a pleasant little bitterness that comes into play after the initial sip. St Clements and vanilla wafer. Short finish with lemon in the aftertaste. Very slight body with decent carbonation. Good.
