Cask at the Great British Beer Festival 2017 - London. Pours hazy yellow with a foamy, white topping. Good snout, some grapefruit, lemon peel, light yeast. Light to medium sweet flavour with some pithy citrus, light pine needles. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Pithy finish, ample grapefruit. Good stuff.

Pint can thanks to hershiser2! 7/19/22. Hopefully this does not contain mayonnaise. Hazy amber, thin offwhite head, average retention. Aroma of caramel, toast, dry leaves. Taste is caramel, bit of stone fruit. Crisp. Simple. Solid.
