Bottle from Oddbins, Blackheath. Cloudy amber pour, no head. Flat as a pancake. Apricot, caramel and some kind of vegetable (parsnips?) aroma. Citrus and light malt flavour. Bitter sweet linger. Light bitter finish. Needed a bit more life this one.

Cask gravity at Sebright Arms Hackney. Pale gold with thin white head. Decent enough hoppy golden ale. Some lime fruit edge. Yep a tasty golden. Bit harsher on the bitterness than you would think for a lighter abv
