Hand-pulled half-pint as a night-cap in Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, Oakengates on 22nd April 2014. Pours a pale almost golden colour with a white head that gave some good lacing. Dry, floral and with citrus notes throughout. Had just about enough alcohol content to counter the citrus elements which can often turn me against a beer. Medium body depth and overall a fine pint: drop the citrus presence and the beer would be great!

Golden-amber, sweet, slightly candyish and fruity, finishes sweet as well. Just too candyish for me.
