Cask handpull at William IV pub, Leyton. Very pale gold. Slight haze. Lime hop aroma, slightly sweaty sox on aroma. Bit acidic and thin in mouth. Just the wrong side of citrus hoppy for me and slides into ascetic.

A Mes rate. Cask at the Jolly Butchers.
Almost clean gold with just a faint white rim. Big old cat pee, grass and farmyard funk on the nose. Bloody great. I tell you whut, I said I tell you whut, this is a bloody magnificent beer. Epic Nelson Sauvin. Just bloody loads of it. My first sip made me make noises of unabashed excitement. My second sip did exactly the same. Shit the bed this is good. Huge length to the surprisingly dry grassy bitterness. Amazing stuff. A hell of a pair of danglies for a sub 4% beer too. Plenty of punch, wonderfully crisp and dry, thoroughly drinkable. Shit hot stuff from Brodies.
