Can. Dram Shop Sheffield. Clear (eh?) pale to medium gold. White froth is messy lasting and lacing. Malts come across a tad buttery. Big hoppage, as promised. Piny and zesty. Bit of sweet preserved lemon. Taste is pretty sweet and a little buttery. Hit of bitterness. Smooth and oily. Bitter finish. Bit like the Neepsend of old which I’d always swerve.
