Cask hand-pump at the Hobgoblin, Reading. Brilliantly clear copper colour with a trace of a beige head, an excellent looking pint; floral and citrus aromas; an immediate citrus bite when first tasted, with sweet orange and grapefruit flavours; then a refreshing lightly bitter finish. A great beer for early summer.
