[Handpump at Horse & Jockey, Reading] Deep amber with a small lasting white head. Fresh citrus aroma. Tasted initially malty with such an intense earthy bitterness that I feared I may struggle to drink it. Fortunately the bitterness was followed by a big citrus kick that made everything OK. Much more flavoursome and interesting than your average bitter, this is not bad at all.
