Keg at BD Brum. Hazy pineapple yellow. Thin foamy white head sticks to the rim. Aroma has soft stone fruit and some random fruit from Whole Foods. Flavourwise it has soft fruit sweetness with a vaguely bitter edge. A sour streak then appears from the depths. Gets tang, bab. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice enough but not blowing me away.

Cask at Wellington, Brum. Hazy-opaque gold. Frothy foamy white head. Aroma has light citrus and not much else. Flavourwise it's virtually flavourlless. Lightest citrus sourness and smooth malts but all rather watered down. Light. Slick. Soft carbonation. A finish. Fell asleep after a couple of sips.
