Bottle share at Mr Smith’s Stratoflat. Thanks to Dan. Almost clear gold beer, decent pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry. Decent fine carbonation. Light and thin malts. A weird floral vibe, not quite soapy but flirting with the idea. Trace of citrus and spice. Light dry finish. Odd but okay.

Bottle split at LKS, thanks to Daniel, 03/09/15. Clear pale golden with a decent off white covering. Nose is lemon drizzle, citric sherbets, straw, bread dough, tangerine. Taste comprises light mineral strokes, bread, straw, melon, tangerine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Low end for style, lacks hop presence but clean and easy to drink.

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Daniel. Pours crystal clear yellow with a creamy white head. Bready pale malts int the nose, rindy lemon, straw. Light sweet flavor with simple biscuits, some bitter hay. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Simple finish, more pale bread, biscuits, light grass and hay. So so.

Bottle thanks to Dan. It pours clear light gold with decent white head. The nose is soft, fresh, soapy, fresh lemon, grapefruit, cracker and dough. The taste is crisp, clean, water, soda water, lemon tea, grapefruit and minerals with a short, dry finish. Light body and fine carbonation. Clean and simple.

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear golden brown with a thick white head. Aromas of light tropical fruit, faint ginger spice. Taste has the ginger thing too, more tropical fruit. Spicy, sweet finish.

Cask at the kings arms near waterloo. Mostly clear yellow coloured pout with a fine white head. Aroma is lovely bouquet of tropical fruit, peach mango and lychee with faint lemon. Galaxy hop maybe. Flavour is composed of white grains, bready, tropical fruit with a bit of lemon. Nice mango and peach tropical fruit. Good cask condition. Lovely. New world hops and cask conditioned beer. Lovely.
