It's not my first, but the second of the day. A golden cask pour with plenty of creamy-frothiness on top. Below is a good water that gives this sweet tropical fruit brew a pleasant mouthfeel.

My polling station is practically next door to Vocation, so seemed rude not to try this new beer after voting today. This one gets my vote, a hazy, slightly darker golden coloured keg pour. Touches of pine and touches of tropical fruit, but a slight understatedness works well here.
