Keg at the Anspach & Hobday taproom - London. Pours mostly clear gold with a creamy, white topping. Biscuit in the nose, light lemon peel, hay. Light to medium sweet flavour with more biscuity notes, moderate bitter hay, some butterscotch, yeast. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes somewhat dry, with more pale biscuit, bread, lightly bitter citrus peel. Pretty alright.

Keg at Anspach & Hobday. Light haze on this gold beer, tidy white head. Palate is light, dry and is finely crisp. Light dry pale malts. A thoroughly odd bitter nutty floral apricot flavour dominates. Light finish. Bitter floral linger. Too weird by far.
