Cloudy and dull tan - doesn’t look like much. On the nose, there’s some orangey stuff (the simcoe) but a bit of cheesiness as well. The malts come across dull. There is a nice orangey note from the hop, but the underlying malts are muddled, and there is far too much yeast influence. The balance is okay, and but the hop flavour lacks brightness.

Can courtesy of rlgk. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head that leaves some sparse trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is tiny fruity and heavy grassy with crackers, white bread, grapefruit juice, unripe mango, freshly cut grass, pine needles, green peas and lemon zest. Taste is bitter, fruity and grassy. Mouthfeel is tiny dry, slightly round, tiny astringent and medium bodied. Finish is bitter with white bread, grapefruit, mango, fresh grass, pine needles and lemon zest. Bit too green in the hops but apart from that a solid beer.

Tap into a shot-glass showing neon lemon with quickly dissipating sparse white foam. The nose shows pithy grapefruit and juicy citrus. The palate is moderately carbonated and medium bodied. Flavors of the same grapefruit and citrus with notes of kiwi peppered in between finishes on a slight kiwi/pine-like note. Very well done.

Can shared at Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell - London. I brought this one - many thanks to Sander and Chris for procuring and transporting. Pours unclear yellow-gold with a white cream head. The nose holds pine, ripening citrus, pale bread. Medium sweet flavor with vibrant citrus fruits, tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, light bitter pine, pale bread sugars. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Moderate hop resin in the finish, dry pale malts, grapefruit, pithy lemon, slight bitter earth. Great beer overall. Incredibly juicy and drinkable.

Craft Clerkenwell. Bottleshare. Thanks to Manny G. Very hazy gold beer, small cream colour head. Palate is airy and fairly dry. Mild fine carbonation. Thin dry creamy mals. Dry piney hop. Lots of hop spice. Touches of orange peel and pith. More hop spice before a light semi dry finish. Spicy linger. Pretty hop spicy. A tad dry.

Can shared at Craft Clerko. Thanks to Sir Manny of G. It pours hazy dirty gold with a thick white head. The nose is fresh, juicy, grassy, floral notes, sweet pine, faint citrus and a touch of fennel. The taste is crisp, creamy, minerals, grass, dankness, grapefruit, lemon verbena, pine needles, touch of alcohol, light spice and herbs with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not as vibrant as the other OH beers this eve. Decent enough anyhow.
