Can at level 42, thanks to LKS. It pours hazy deep dirty gold with a medium white head. The aroma is mellow, sweet, juicy, nectarine, peach, mango sorbet, pineapple, earth and grass. The taste is bitter, juicy, pineapple, nectarine, earth, dirty, pine, grassy green edge, dankness and some spring onion with a dry, fruity finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Nice juicy fruit character, if a bit dirty.

Can at home in London - picked up at the London Brewers Market. Pours clear, deep gold with a frothy, white head. The aroma is nice and juicy, with strong notes of mango, peach, tangerine and orange. Medium sweet flavour with lots of ripe, plump tropical fruits, more mango, papaya, apricot, nectarine, orange, some relaxed piney bitterness, dry pale bread. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Fairly clean on the finish, with slight resin, more fresh and juicy citrus and tropical fruits, adequate bready sugars. Really well balanced overall, and hugely drinkable. Once again, London Beer Factory shows that they brew really good beer. I’m not sure they get as much attention as they might deserve.
