Cask (handpump) at The Colonies, Westminster, London. Attractive bright amber colour, with a thin but lasting white head and some condition on the plate giving a crisp refreshing mouthfeel. Light citric notes throughout with a spicy, fresh edge to the flavour. Some juicy fruit. More in the flavour than the aroma. Very smooth. Maybe a touch sweet but slipped down very nicely. More in the flavour than the aroma. Rather better than I expected.
