[cask at Cask&Barrel Southside, Edinburgh] Slightly hazy straw yellow beer, very pale indeed. Thin white head. Sharp lemon aroma, some grapefruit – very pithy on the nose. Tasting, instantly reminded me of a Fyne Ales-esque Avalanche/Jarl crossover – bitter citrus fruit, some biscuit at the end, dry finish. Very nice [05082011]
