500ml bottle from Lapworth Wines. Clear gold, small white head. Aroma of Citra hops comes through strong being citrusy, earthy and floral, background of biscuit malt. Its light yet oddly cloying, biscuity, citrus some zest. Moderate dry bitter finish. A bit twiggy. Its ok. Reading the below reviews it sounds like this is far superior on cask.

Yikes it's been a while since anyone has rated this one! 500ml bottle from Lapworth Wines. Clear gold pour with decent small white head. Aroma is biscuit, grass, citrus, grapefruit. Quite a zesty tangy tangerine flavour with a grassy bitterness. Dry finish almost astringent but offset by a late grapefruit refreshing note. It's fine.
