Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Cork & Cask. Pours mostly clear yellow-gold with a frothy, white head. Lightly sweet with subtle lemony notes, crispy pale grains, husk, straw, low bitterness. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Clean finish, notes of lemon rind, pale bread crust, biscuits, hay. Simple and drinkable stuff.
