Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is moderate pale stone fruit and some lightly toasty malt. Med body or almost. Flavor is slightly toasty malt, pale stone fruit, possibly a touch of citrus. Maybe even a touch of earthiness. It’s dry and fairly bitter. I kept it in a frig, but maybe the citrus hop aspects went down over a few months. Still a nice drink tho.

Pours a golden amber from a bottle. Not much aroma to speak of, a citrusy lemon flavor. Rather dry, nice finish. Good beer.

Craft Clerkenwell. LKS 15K bash. Thanks to Mr 15K. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, crispy and semi dry. Thin pale malts, not that sweet and with a trace of grain. Mild floralness. Finishes dry and mildly hop spicy with a bitter orange linger. All right.

Bottle thanks to Leighton at his 15K tasting. It pours lightly hazy gold with a medium white head. The nose is soft, sweet, juicy, sweet pineapple, nectarine, wheetabix, rivita and bready malt. The taste is crisp, rather bitter, straw, pithy, zesty lemon, toasted grass, minerals and some soap with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A touch soapy perhaps. Not bad.

Draught at Deep Ellum, 8/3/15.
Almost always a great apperance from Pretty Things....high clarity, good foamy white head and well-carbonated golden liquid.
Good, semi-aggressive hop nose boasts grapefruit, oranges, lemons and lighter fruits (apples, cherries). It’s presented on a very dry backing of base malts and just a touch of bread/biscuit shows through. No alcohol or flaws.
Hoppy and dry in the flavor, it is pretty well free from any obnoxious acidity, though it’s no slouch in bitterness. Most of this is balanced by a crackery pale malt base with ever-so-slight sweet honey notes. Lots of floral notes through the middle with building citrus ending in a grapefruit and cherry-like finish, with marmalade and lemons lingering. Very carbonated, with a malt texture that is, perhaps, a touch scratchy at times. Wouldnt mind a bit more softness/suppleness from it.
