Keg at CBC Clerkenwell - London. Pours perfectly clear gold with a foamy white head and impressively sturdy white lacing. (I normally donโt comment on lacing because, really, who gives a shit, but the lacing here was too robust to NOT earn a mention.) A bit of dry cereal in the nose, mild bread, hints of tangy melon. Light sweet flavor with grainy cereal, moderate bitter grain husks, a bit of citrus rind. Light bodied with average carbonation. Fair balance on the finish with more grainy cereal and dry, flinty minerals. Not bad.
