Tap at the brewpub. Hazy light gold. Thin foamy white head retreats to the rim. Aroma has tart citrus. Slightly vinous. Flavourwise the sourness amps up.. Tart. Vinous. Citrusy. Herbal. Light. Thin. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Crisp and pleasant.

Keg at the Portcullis tap, Portchester, South Coast Jolly Boys Day Out 20/09/2025.
Moderately hazed golden orange topped with a white cap that thins to the swirl and edge.
Nose is bitter orange, grass, tangerine, soft malts.
Taste comprises sharp citric zest, melon, grass, bitter orange.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close spiked with mellow hop bitterness.
Passable pale ... a little on the tangy side and not getting much in the way of the advertised NZ hops.
