Cask handpump at Dogfest, Ferocious Dogs Festival at the Black Market venue, Nottinghamshire, Saturday 17th December 2016 Really surprised at the low marks for this, I thought that it was really good, perhaps drinking it at its home venue is the clincher? Like the Imposter this pours light gold, there is a slight haze and a little bubbly slim white head. Good citrus, fruity and whilst not quite as dry as the Imposter it is nonetheless pithy, dry, with a slight sweeter lemonyness, really good. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.5
