Cask at Wellington, Brum. Aroma combines juicy fruit and malts. Clear dark amber. Foamy white head soon develops a thin spot. Flava is citrusy, sour. Fruity streak. Sugary but returns to bitterness. Light-medium bodied.. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. NICE BUT NO WOHAAWOHAAHWOAAA.
