440ml can at the Pilgrim's Progress (JDW), Bedford. Light gold and clear with a smattering of an uneven white head. Big grapefruit aroma, some lemon, a little bit if pine in the background. Bittersweet taste with bitter piney hop oils coating my tongue. Gentle fruity finish. Light and slightly oily body, not much carbonation. Predictable but good.
