Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Clear yellow pour with no head. Urine, straw and sharp citrus aroma. Lightly sweet flavor, bit of straw and sugar, great bitter character of citrus, pine and hay. Light bodied ith soft carbonation. Bitter, fairly sticky finish, nicely balanced with lingering hops. Condition could be better but the beer itself is very, very good.

Cask handpull at Spoons Lord Moon of the Mall. Clear pale gold lasting thin white head. Ascetic lemon flavour and a bit thin in the mouth too. Bugger all condition does not help. Very aggressive ascetic hop on finish. Oh dear the lack of condition us shocking. Big finishing hop though.
