Cask-conditioned at the Marble Arch, Manchester 10/06/09 as "Pint". Pale gold in colour with a frothy white head. Big aroma of rose petals, gooseberries and citrus hops. Flavours of turkish delight, more gooseberries, orange grass and a long dry finish. Excellent and all the more creditable for being a sub 4% ABV beer.
