Half pint in fine condition at The Gunmakers. Patchy white head to a pale golden body, slightly hazy. Spotty lacing. Moderate aromas of grassy hops. Refreshing flavour profile of bitter hops offset by mild malty sweetness. Drying hops on the swallow. Fine drinkability matching the pub food (London 23.09.2014).

Tap(Bayswater Arms, Bayswater):Pale golden to golden, lively carbonation, small, stable and lacy white head; mild dryish herbal hoppy nose, pale malty base hardly detectable; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, pretty light bodied eith a faint illusion of a malty body; dryish grainy-fruity finish. Tastes like a stupid german industrial Pils; not a great pleasure…
