The Half Moon, Windlesham. Colin and Sue’s Wedding. Cask. Hazy dark red - amber beer with a small cream coloured head. Palate is light and a little dry with fine carbonation. Mild toffee malt base. Hops are pretty good with citric orange and lemon. Some pith and a touch of grapfruit. Finishes semi dry with mild bitterness. Pretty drinkable.
