Fin (6180) - Merton, Oxfordshire, England, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - JUL 20, 2009
Cask at Merton Summer Beer and Cider Festival 2009 18-07-09 Pours gold, good clarity and with a nice white head, looked very good but in the head to head with the most similar beer here namely Millstone Tiger Rut it was beaten on looks. Aroma is soft lemon and a touch floral. Taste is citrussy good fruitiness, not as crisp as the Millstone but tasty all the same, finish is a touch drying. A6 A4 F6 P4 Ov12 3.2
