Keg at Lyric. It pours cloudy yellow with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, breezy, tropical fruits, mango, peach, sweat, apricot and bread. The taste is crisp, bitter, quite fresh, pissy, tropical fruits, straw, hay, grapefruit and orange rind with a dry finish. Light - medium body and moderate carbonation. Quite bright and rather drinkable. A solid lower abv offering.

Cask at White Hart, Chobham. Floral herby aroma. A cloudy pale gold, a white milky cataract effect. Bubbly white head. Umami with a light caramel sweetness. A light spicy bitterness comes in and through to the finish. Light-medium bodied. On the thin side. Soft carbonation. Dry finish. I appreciated the palate, but the taste was muted, bland. Easy drinking but forgettable.
