Half-pint, cask ale outdoor at Cemetery Hotel. Fair white head, clingy lacing, clear straw golden body. Modest grassy hops, on the nose, citric notes. Distant citrus flavours added by moments of honey sweetness. Mid-sweet fruity ending. Rather thin in the mouth. Has not got so much to offer. (With Norwegian football supporters, Rochdale 05.05.2018).
