Keg @ Brecon Tap, Brecon. Pours a slightly unsettling opaque, milky pale yellow colour, thin white ring atop. Ultra fruity grapefruit nose. Super crisp and light on the palate, expected a smoother fuller feel given the appearance. Taste is similarly fruity, with plenty of grapefruit and pineapple notes. Brisk carbonation. Lovely stuff.
