On tap @ the Haymarket Bar. Pours golden with a nice sized head. There is a grapefruit note which is expected but also a bit of green apple which has be worried it is just on the edge of oxidation. The taste has more of the same. I mentioned this to the bar people who can’t agree re the green apple, so if it is the way it’s meant to be it’s worrying. For some unknown reason, I am back in the Haymarket two nights later and I try the beer again (my friend has it this time) and it’s much better. So, it was slightly sour the first time and this cask was fresh.
