Jul 5, 2009 A Mes rate. Cask handpull from Baker Street ’Sporks.
Clean gold with a thin white head and decent condition. Fruity and floral. Lots of citric notes and some decent pale malt underneath. Faint bitter finish with a strong lemony character. Very citric all round really. Run of the mill but very drinkable.
