Keg at Royal Oak, Holmbury St Mary. Floral pineapple aroma. Juicy. Pale gold. Thin creamy translucent white head. Light-medium bitter. Some low key sourness. Pineapple citrus and soda. Thin bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long finish. Refreshing for a summer day I guess but ultimately light and bland.
