Can. Hazy golden colour with a small white foamy head. Aroma is lemongrass, vitrus, some mild grapefruits and a bit wooden tartness. Flavour is sour citrusy, lemongrassy and mild herbal tones with a bit of grassy bitterness. Easy going, but quite thin in the end.

440ml can from Beergonzo. Pours clear golden with a bubbly white head. Aroma of lemongrass, zesty citrus, orange peel, lemon and grapefruit. Taste is smooth, watery and slightly tartish with hints of lemon and soda like notes. Finish is smooth and watery with hints of lemon soda and soapy grapefruit. Quite easy going and soda like, where's the beer?

Can into a tulip showing well filtered pale gold to deep amber with sparse white foam. The nose shows pronounced candied oranges. The palate is light bodied and well carbonated. Lightly tart with light flavours of yuzu and citrus with a light malt mid palate.

Keg at BrewDog Leicester. Dark gold with a ring of white head. Light citrus and floral aroma. The punch is in the taste: tart yet sweet with a note of rosewater and nutmeg. Slightly more sourness in the finish. Sexy yet understated little sour. Well worth seeking out.
