Bottle split at CBC Islington, thanks to Scoopey, 26/04/17. Lightly hazed golden blonde with a decent off white cap. Nose is zingy citric peel, straw, lemon rind, grains. Taste comprises mellow funk, clove, lemon tinged straw, hay bale, stale bread, light peppery spice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Ok if a touch basic.

Craft Islington bottle share. Thanks to Scopey. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, dry and finely crisp. Light malts. Touch of savoury yeast. Light floralness and yeasty bitterness. Mild citrus, lemon and grapefruit. Dry finish leaves a bitter linger. Decent if a tad yeasty.

Bottle picked up at Drygate a while back and shared at Craft Islington. It pours cloudy yellow - gold with a medium white head. The aroma is fresh pineapple, bready malts, cereal, straw and candied citrus. The taste is crisp, dry, bitter, lemon peel, grapefruit, straw, touch of citric acidity, tart sherbet, grass and light spice. Finish is dry and lightly spiced. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Pretty quaffable. Decent enough.

Bottle shared in London / thanks to Scoopy. Pours unclear orange-gold with a creamy, white head. Bland aroma, some hay, tangerine rind. Light sweet flavour with sandy hay, more citrus peel, husky grains, dry wheat bread. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with decent bitterness, more citrus rind, pale grains, light yeast. So so.
