Cask at TBH, London on 12th June 2015. Hazy gold with thin off-white film and full lacing. Intensely citric, sour aroma with lemon and grapefruit. Sour lemon and grapefruit continue to dominate in-mouth, with alcohol notes present. Finish is both bitter and sour citrus, and of somewhat short duration.

Cask at TBH, London on 12th June 2015. Deep copper with off-white part-lacing film. Malty aroma with leafy herbiness. Plenty of caramel malts in-mouth and a biscuity kick. Malty finish, tangy on the tongue, but all rather short-lived. Light bodied with a fairly smooth mouthfeel, easy drinking.
