Handpull cask at the Salmon, Leicester. Mid- to dark gold, clear, with very little head but quite a lot of lacing. Pleasant hop aroma: apricot, tangerine peel and pineapple with caramel biscuit, floral and honey notes. Taste is bittersweet, turning more bitter with a bit of souring astringency toward the finish, and hard citrus and pulpy mango in the bitter aftertaste. Thin palate, with little to no carbonation. Decent hoppy golden.

Cask half pint on 20th April 2017 in The Pheasant Inn, Wellington Shropshire. Blonde with a slight haze, snow white head. Far to citrusy for me, the Cascade and Citra hops completely overpowering what malt content there was. Had to give half away to my wife. Others may well love it, but not me. Scored objectively.
