Cask at CBC Clerko, 24/04/15. Clear golden with a decent off white cap that retains well. Nose is citric peel, orange, toasted malt, straw, lemon zest. Taste comprises light pine, orange pith, apricot, grassy notes, earthy hop. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying close with peppery hop bitterness. Decent hoppy number, in the APA category - hop presence & ABV stronger than that your typical golden blonde.

The taste is bitter-sweet, juicy, lemon sherbet, yuzu, straw, grassy, pepper and a touch of soap. Light-medium body and fine carbonation. No real depth of flavor unfortunately. Decent enough.
