Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 4th September 2020. Hazy amber with shallow, dense off-white foam painting no less than a full lacing on the glass. Mildly pungent aroma with hints of yeast and herbs. Sweet malts and leafy hops in-mouth with a dry, bitter finish. Velvet smooth texture and a light body.

Appearance is golden, fizzy, with a big pillowy head. Aroma is hops, cereal malt, hint of pineapple and citrus fruit. Taste is crisp peppery hops, pine, orange peel, hint of grapefruit, hoppy fruit, rough malty undertones. Well-flavoured and plenty of bitterness for the abv.

Large foamy white head stayed on a hazy pale gold body. Pithy aroma with grapefruit. Medium bodied, sharp on the tongue thinning out to leave a dry clean back. Bitter, citrus, pith, grapefruit, confectionery & chalk tastes with a long tangy finish. Excellent LA beer

Clear golden, thin head. Light, dry hop smell and the flavour follows suit, with a hint of grassy citrus in there. Body is a touch watery but there’s a decent bitter aftertaste as well. This is comfortably one of the best low-alcohol beers I’ve had and I’d take it over many of the stronger "session" beers I’ve tried.

On tap @ Henrik. This is a mild cloudy looking orange colored one with a nice big really lacing almost a little foamy off-white head. Smells grassy this. Dry mineralish, some milder types of fruity. Hard to tear appart but it smells quite nice actually. It's higher on the carbonation and somewhat watery on the texture. More grassy bite in the taste. It has a big punchy bitterness all the way this. Also on the dryer side. Hints if fruits in the watery tail. Yeah, for the ABV and all that it's actually quite a nice little hoppy session inspired apa this. 13.11.2015

A little sharp but juicy and clean. Easy session drinker. Well made for low abv. --- Beer merged from original tick of Jacob's Ladder 2020 on 27 Mar 2020 at 03:03

33cl bottle from Beer52.com. A straw coloured pour with a white head and lively carbonation; fresh piney citrus aroma; dry and tart in the mouth with a tropical fruit taste, but a rather thin body; then some resinous hops leading to dry, almost chalky finish. A light summery and refreshingly hoppy beer.
