My first ever visit to ‘The Southampton Arms’ (London) and one of the many cask offerings was this beer: I started the Saturday afternoon session with two hand-pulled pints of it; both poured into an old ‘dimpled pint mug’.

Pale amber/golden body, clear and almost bright: on top a full white foaming head.

Floral hop aroma, citrus hints, apples as well.

The taste had a citrus front, back and middle: it was all about the aforementioned flavours, but they were subtle more than overpowering making the beer refreshing rather than tart or sharp. What malt content there was prevented the beer being too sour, dry or bitter, the malts didn’t show themselves; they were in the background just below the surface.

Pleasant enough, a bit too light in colour and body strength for my taste, but I had two pints just to make sure I got my review correct.

look: 2.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4.5

Served in a pint glass.

A: Pale, clear yellow. Head settles at about half a finger. No visible carbonation. Heavy lacing.

S: Wonderful (Amarillo) hops. Floral, aromatic, and somehow comforting in a bar otherwise full of beers with boring smells.

T: Quite nice! Crisp, a little carbonated, hoppy, with a citrus prickling at the end of the taste. The aftertaste is bitter, but not dry.

M: Pleasant, stimulating, and a little bit dry. Nice.

D: Definitely sessionable and enjoyable to drink to boot. Hops are prominent, but not overwhelming. Recommended.

Serving type: cask
