Cask handpull at The brewery Islington. Clear deep red brown colour no head. Again its sweet. Struggling to tell difference betwee this and the Watchmaker. Some malty jammy fruit. Touch of drying hop on the finish. Perhaps more brown malty than the Watchmaker. Scores about the same though.

Cask @ Brewhouse & Kitchen, Islington). Almost clear golden orange body with a small white head. Aroma is light pale malt with some citric fruit and hint of grapefruit. Light and refreshing flavor, pale malt and citric, grapefruit and moderate bitterness. Nice and easy, refreshing but probably closer to a hoppy golden ale. Decent enough.
