Cask at Three Wise Monkwys, Ipswich. Aroma has citrus and malts. Opaque golden brown. Low key though. Medium-heavy sour. Underlying vague hints of malts. Medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Is the brewery going to aim that this is a modern bitter? Hoppy citrus..... a Pale. Fails to comply with style.
