500ml bottle. Pours slightly cloudy yellow, thin head, some retention. Aroma of malts, citrus, a little spice. Taste is citrus, tea, biscuit with a nice long bitterness in the finish. A standard citrus blonde but the long bitter note elevates it a little.

Cask at the Plough in Kingham. Thai was a very plain tasting ale that was very watery but with moments of clean fruit hop and grass. Probably good for a session but dull.

Keg at the Plough, Kingham. Behaved like a cask beer despite being keg. Aroma was unpleasant, honestly wafts of sick and pee. Apart from that, pretty decent taste and finish, light grass.
