Handpull cask at the Gate, Sawbridgeworth. Lighter shade of gold, clear and fairly flat with only a touch of white head. Citrus and papaya aroma with a dank metallic note. Taste is bittersweet and complex: the hops provide the flavour but never quite dominate. Finish is long a more bitter than what came before. Touch of sulphur in the aftertaste. This is surprisingly good, although it’s odd that Watneys would be resurrected in whatever guise.
