Cask Southampton Arms 12th October 2018. Cleanish gold with thin, off-white foam and scant lacing. Fine citrus aroma with mildly floral and spicy notes. Crisply citric in-mouth with juicy berries and a fruity finish. Light body and mouthfeel. A thirst quencher!

Keg @ IndyMan 2018. Pours misty gold, small white head. Fresh simcoe aroma. Character is generally fairly light and dry, a touch grassy with moderate citrus and floral notes. Needs a bit more punch but generally fine.

Keg at IMBC 2018, session 2. Pours clear red with a tight, creamy pink head. Simplistic but enjoyable, nice restrained tart cherries, low acidity, good dryness, touches of seedy bitterness. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Tangy cherry finish, dry. Not bad.
