5th Aug 2015: hand-pulled cask pint in a local Wetherspoon outlet. Orange hue to the golden body, thin white head. Aroma was citrus led with mild herbal trace. Taste wise again the citrus notes came through, grapefruit mostly for me. Dry and fairly bitter in the mouthfeel, hop bitterness stronger in the finish.
