Keykeg at Pigs Ear. Hazy yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a fairly forward creamy sweetness. Soft cooling pine, mild skunk. Light but piney and very slightly ripe hop fruits. A light and semi dry finish. Nicely hoppy.

Can at The Escapist, Petersfield. So, yeah, would be available at Tescos for a minimal price. A typically boring SIPA. I deleted my initial rating in error as the lady I was talking to pointed out that my train was due (annoyingly). Anyway a vaguely hazy vaguely sour amd fruity Light-medium bodied thing that has left a sour taste in my mouth.

Taste comprises bitter orange, grass, pine needle, grapefruit, dank chimes, guava.

Ignore/Take lightly the first 3 rates/ticks ... I didn't used to bother with this brewery back then ... they've massively raised their game in the past year or so.
