Cask at the Nags Head, Reading. Hazy amber with a loose soapy looking off-white head; aromas of citrus, honey and caramel; smooth with a touch of honey to satrt and then developing a pronounced grapefruit flavour, both sweet and tart; leading to a long herby bitter finish. A beautiful pint.

Bottle. Golden beer with a strong head. The aroma is well hopped and yeasty, and the flavour is slightly grassy, very well hopped, bitter and roasted. Overall a disappointingly flavoured beer.
