Handpull cask at the Clapton Hart, Clapton. At 4.2%. Golden and clear, slightly on the light side. Smallish white head with loads of soapy lacing. Harsh citrus in the aroma, hay, woody notes, some astringency.taste has a nice bitterness to it, with intensely bitter hops in the finish. Nice full texture for the style and ABV. Decent enough carbonation. Not as exciting as their session beer but holds its own well enough.
