Level 42 bottleshare. . Thanks to Scopey. Almost clear gold beer, small cream colour head. Palate is airy, dry and has decent carbonation. Thin malts. Tangy and thin orange, a little lemon. Light dry minerally finish. Modest hop spice in the aftertaste. Ho hum.

Bottle picked up at Bridgend Services and shared at L42. It pours clear rich golden with a medium white head. The aroma is toasted grain, honeyed cereal, white bread, soft fruits vibes and hay. The taste is dry, toasty grain, cereal, green grassy hops, hay, pithy, soapy citrus and straw with a soft finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation and soft mouth - feel. A pretty run of the mill malty golden air. Fair.

Bottle shared in Canary Wharf - many thanks to Scoopey. Pours clear gold with a rich, foamy white head. Citric hops in the nose, some pale grains and hay. Light sweet flavour with doughy pale malts, dirty hay, grass. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with white bread crust, more dough, hay and grass giving a little bitterness. Mediocre overall.
