Keg at CBC Clerks - London. Pours clear, bright gold, lightly effervescent, with a dense, creamy white head. Definitely lemongrass in the nose, some dried pale malts, floral hops. Light sweet flavour with strong grassy bitterness, hay, pine needles. Light bodied with active, massaging carbonation. Fairly clean on the finish, with more lemongrass, moderate bitterness, more dried pale malts. Not bad.
