Craft Clerkenwell. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, tidy off white head. Palate is smooth with mild fine carbonation. Light pale malts do a good job of suporting floral citric hops, bitterish orange and lemon with a light floral sweetness. Finishes smooth and semi dry with a citric peel bitter and hop spice linger. Well joined up and drinkable.

Craft Clerkenwell. Cask. Bright clear gold beer, no real head. Palate is light and dry. Very mild carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a little creamy sweetness. Hops are mildly skunky with a little ripe orange and marmalade. Hop bitterness develops before a smooth finish that brings mild floralness and peel bitterness. Decently hoppy if a little flat.
