Keg at Oxford Tavern, Kentish Town. No rebranded back to West Berks from Renegade. Spicy citrus aroma. Light amber. Foamy white head. Light-medium bitter. More quinine than citrusy, the aroma made me expect the latter. Light-medium bodied. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. Underwhelming. Other than some hoppy bite it's thin on every level. Slips down at least.
