[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A dark straw coloured pour with a tight cream coloured head; floral aroma; strong floral taste with a sharp pithy bitterness and an oily feel in the mouth; then a well hopped finish with resins and bitter citrus tastes. This certainly wakes up the tastebuds!
