Draft at the Lewes brewery taproom. Poured a murky light orange colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is massive guava. The flavour is over moderate sour, with a big, tart lemon, dry yeasty palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Way too tart and sour if I’m honest. It was hard to drink the entire half pint. It’s the kind of beer that you order if this is all you want to drink for an evening.
