Cask at the Windsor Castle, Lye. This is indeed a different recipe to Jacks Ale. Pours a very light gold with a medium head. Aroma is tangy citrus, not over powering. Taste is tangy hops and citrus hops to start. The finish is full of the cites hops and strong and bitter. Packs a punch for the low abv.
