Cask at CBC Clerko, as East Bay Pilgrimage (dry hop version), 24/04/17. Golden with a decent white head. Nose is pithy citric peel, lemon rind, grass, green hop tones, grains. Taste comprises bitter orange, not as aggressively hopped as the nose suggested, citric drenched straw, airy malts. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying close with semi aggressive hop bitterness. Quite the bitter bastard, perhaps too much and coming across as overly harsh at times.
