Keg at CBJ - Bermondsey. Pours cloudy orange-gold with a frothy, pure white head. Light to medium sweet flavour with idea of bready pale malts, a little pale grain, straw, biscuits. Light bodied with average carbonation. Moderately sweet to finish, more pale grains, bready pale malts. Easygoing, not really a hazy pale but enjoyable as more of a golden ale kind of thing.
