Keg at the Blue Collar street food market in Forbury Gardens, Reading. With a goat curry on the side. Deep gold with a white head and a light fizz. Tastes of tangerine and pine with a hint of passion fruit and grape. Thought it was a bit watery at first, but it got more body as I drank more. Enjoyable if a little subdued - better than the Eukanot variant I had earlier this year.
