Golden, hoppy and slightly floral. Otherwise, didn’t make a huge impression on me. Perfectly pleasant. Cask (handpump), Out of the Vaults, Leicester.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Hand pulled at Out of the Vaults, Leicester (during RB Leicester crawl). Golden beer (you probably guessed that). Nice hop profile here - tasty, fresh though very dry. Let down by a slightly murky finish: a little marshy. Some sand. On the whole nice.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Out Of The Vaults Leicester (RB Leicester Crawl) A golden coloured ale with a wonderful fresh hoppy aroma with mandarin like fruit. The taste again is hoppy but dry. In good condition and snappy tasting.
