(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 7 Aug 2007) Golden yellow colour with foamy white head. Fruity nose with distinct notes of lemon and grapefruit indicating the hop character. Fruity taste with lemon, grapefruit and generous amounts of citrussy hops in the resiny finish. Almost neo-american hop character in an English bitter with 4,3% abv! I could definitely do a session or two on this beer. Great stuff.
