440ml can into a pint mug. Best by December 26th, no year, but this seems fresh. Gift from a friend visiting from over the pond.

Brilliant crystal clear pale golden body. Bright white head is short lived. Clean aroma, mild citrus. On tasting, sharp, clean, nice hop bitterness late in the finish.

Overall, very drinkable, great quencher, nice finish. Nice hop draped Spitfire on the can.

June 2019: Cask halfpint at The Beehive (JDW), Gatwick Airport. ABV 4%. Golden colour, white head. Moderate aroma, some citrus. Moderately citric flavour, decent bitterness, quite refreshing.
