[Cask at the Waterloo Tap.] A hazy amber pour with a thin white head; orange citrus aroma; explosion of fresh green hops on the tongue, then an orangey malt body; and fresh herby hops adding a spicy bitterness to the finish. Good.

(Cask at Cock Tavern, Hackney, London, 23 Nov 2018) Golden amber colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of soft malt, peaches, apricots, grass and herbal hops. Malty, fruity taste with peaches, apricots, soft malt, citrus, a touch of resin and a balanced citric/herbal bitterness. Light body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and refreshing. Quite nice.
