Cask at Square Peg, Birmingham. Pours a pale straw with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. There’s melon and cucumber in the aroma. In the mouth it is decidedly sharp but with a little underlying sweetness. Flavours of citrus, lemon, cucumber and melon plus traces of tropical fruits and kiwi later on. Sharpness lasts into the somewhat dry finish. This is reasonable – more sharp / tart than sour though.
