Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Hazy, dark gold. Thick, frothy, white head. Nose has pithy, zesty, grapefruit. Notes of peach and passion fruit. Bright tang to it. Biscuit malts in the background. Taste is crisp, zesty bitter. Pretty punchy and clean. Dries out considerably. Medium body. Hop oily. Long, pithy, zesty bitter finish. Nice one. Clean as a whistle.
