6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Cask at the Rake - London. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. Dry and lightly jammy citrus fruits in the aroma. Tasty stuff, with ripe orange, light pine, soggy leaves, moderate sweetness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly sticky on the finish, with bread, gooey citrus. OK stuff overall. Enjoyable in small doses.
