Keg tap at Weavers Real Ale House, Kidderminster. Mid-gold and clear with a wisp of white head and lots of lacing. The aroma is full of Jester hops: spicy with notes of lychee and grapefruit. Tastes bittersweet with more spicy hop, leading to a short finish. Slight, almost watery body with low to medium carbonation. Quite a bit of character for the ABV although it is muted at the end.
