Cask at the Ravensbourne Arms, Lewisham. Amber pour with a white head. Citrus and mango notes in the aroma, very nice nose indeed. Sweet fruit flavour, lots of tropical fruit, sweet spice and citrus in there. Soothing alcohol burn. Long fruity finish. Nice.

(cask@Ravensbourne Arms) Hazy amber/orange with a good medium white head. Aroma/taste is citrus tropical notes, mineral malt and pine, and does mask the alcohol level well even though you do get a strong boozy bitter finish. Very satisfying. Really liked this.
