Bottle at home in London - picked up at the Cock Tavern. Pours lightly hazy gold with a fine, foamy white head. Smells amazing, lots of dry grapefruit, tangerine and pineapple. Light sweet flavor with crispy pale malts, lots more pithy grapefruit, some bitter citrus rind, hints of pine needles. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Dry, pithy citrus finish, lots of bitter citrus rind, grapefruit, mild tangerine. Pretty exceptional for a hoppy, low ABV sessioner. (3.8)
Cask at the Cock Tavern - Hackney, London. Pours mostly clear with a fine, white cream head. Dry citrus on the nose, some stones, hay. Light sweet flavor, moderately bitter, lemon peel, sand, more hay and rocks, minerals. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Super dry and crisp to finish, further lemon rind bitterness. Not bad. (3.4)
