Near-opaque brown beer with a thin head. The (light) smell and taste are both malty chocolate with a dash of caramel. A bit lightweight and watery but decent all the same.

Handpull cask at the Elm Tree, Cambridge. Clear gold, with the tiniest spots of white head and a bit of lacing. Flowery hop scent with touches of honey and blood orange. Bittersweet taste with some citrus juice. Fairly uniform until the finish when it turns slightly more bitter. A touch of soap in the aftertaste but this seems to disappear the more I drink. A pretty good golden beer from a brewery I haven’t had in a while.
