[Cask at the Alehouse, Reading. My 100th Bristol rating.] A pale amber pour with a loose white head; grapefruit aroma; sharp lemony citrus taste with some grapefruit pithy; then a chewy bitter marmalade finish. Tasty.

Handpull cask at the Beehive, Swindon. Pale gold, clear with an uneven white head. Herbal aroma with loads of dill and a bit of white pepper. Taste is bittersweet with the bitterness hitting early on to dominate the finish.light body with soft to no carbonation. Good stuff, a little odd but worth trying.
