Cask (Bookshop Alehouse, Southampton) - Hazy golden in colour. Pineapple, melon, grapefruit and peach in the aroma. The taste is hoppy and fairly light with notes of pineapple, passion fruit, grapefruit and lemon standing out. Refreshing and enjoyable, although it does not taste as strong as it is.
