Golden coloured with small white frothy head. Quite translucent. Aroma is mainly pine hops, maybe lemon, with a bit of bread maltiness. Taste is classic Sorachi Ace. All that weird slightly sour dairy that it always reminds me of. Nice bitter finish. Further down the pint, started getting bubblegum and a bit more of a sour cream finish. Slightly oily in the mouth. I love Sorachi Ace!

Cask at Southampton Arms. Orange/amber coloured with small thin white head. Aroma slightly fruity, lemony but not that strong. Taste is quite sharp, bit of citrus and a bit of sour dairy. Increasingly bitter finish. Not so bad, but but bland compared to the Sorachi Ace one.
