Translucent pale straw colour. Dense and persistent bright white head and lacing that looks almost artificial. Aroma and taste of pale malt, American hops, succade, white pepper, lemon and lime. Bitter citrus in aftertaste. Not quite in harmony. From cask at Job Centre, Deptford, London, 25.02.22 after handing in exam in general quantitative research methods.
