Hazy golden color with a medium frothy white head that recedes gradually to a film. Sticky strings of lace. Aroma of floral hops, citrus and malt. Medium body with flavors of floral hop, grapefruit, tropical fruit and biscuit malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a lingering citrusy hop aftertaste. Good beer all around.

Pours a hazy, light lemon yellow, with mid-sized head that dissipates rapidly. Aroma is dank, with citrus and tropical fruit notes. Flavor follows. Lightly sweet, with a very slightly bitter, hop-pine finish. Mouthfeel seems a bit thin, perhaps.

Level 42 Bottlshare. Thanks to Leighton for the can. Light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth, semi-dry and has decent fine carbonation. Light and semi sweet malts, trace of cream. Good light tangerine marmalade, some grapefruit. Light spicy savoury finish. Very nice.

Growler at L42 - shared by Leighton. It pours clear yellow - gold with a medium white head. The aroma is soft, quite green, grassy, herbal, dank, melon, bread, brioche and cracker. The taste is crisp, dry, soapy citrus, pithy, grapefruit zest, melon, minerals, floury bread and floral notes with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Really well balanced and drinks easier than it should. Decent gear.
