Pint, draught at The Old Swan, Close to clear golden body, declining white head leaving spotty lacing on the glassware. Modest aromas of pale malts and grassy hops. Short moments of grapefruit, orange and pale malts to the taste character. Short lived finish with a citric note. Easy going - okay with my fish 'n chips. (Kensington, London 01.03.2026).
