Cask at the Duke of St Albans, Highgate on 6th June 2025. Pale gold with shallow off-white foam and full lacing. Aroma of some yeasts, and leafy hoppiness. Leafy, floral hoppiness in-mouth, and a little bitterness for the otherwise fruity finish with a citrus undertone. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel.
