Cask @ York Tap 060112
Golden amber....thin white head...good lacing
Not much on the nose - some caramel malt...Taste of light caramel malts...biscuity malt...bit of grassy citrusy hops.
Palate - soft carb..thin to medium body...pit powdery. Finish - hop bitterness comes through more....grassy straw hops...then a cereal digestive biscuit malt tail...cleans well...quite a complex finish.
Overall - A really nice 2 stage finish - very good for only 3.8% abv.

Nice, clear orange-amber color, off-white head. The nose is fresh and grassy. Grapefruit and other citrus flavors are abundant. The taste is quite buoyant and much hoppier than I was expecting. This is a welcomed new school ale that I’d like to see more of.
