Hazy amber, white head, grassy citrus. Flavour is grapefruity, a touch of sweetness, hop. Bitter, citric aftertaste. Could have gone being cooler but it’s nice.

On cask at the Standing Order. Appearance - deep amber with a nice lacy head. Nose - toffee, vanilla and honey. Taste - toffee, honeycomb and a hint of biscuit. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a long dryish finish. Overall - good. Nearly very good indeed, if it could be been balanced with a bit more hop zip.
