Cask at Hamilton Hall, JDW, London. Pours perfectly clear yellow with a small, white foam head. Tangy citric aroma. Light sweet flavour with rather unpleasant citric astringency, some tangy rotten lemon. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Some white bread in the finish, a but of dirty hay, some further tangy citrus notes, though less intense, thankfully. Overall I would say this is a mediocre beer in sub-par condition.

Cask. Pours an almost clear amber with an off-white head leaving some lacework. Very fresh and almost perfumy hop aroma. Medium-bodied, lowish carbonation, caramel and notes of dried fruits but it’s really the fine, aromatic hops that dominate. Very pleasant. 211112
