Keg at Euston tap. Aroma is lovely earthy sharp lemon, straw with saison yeast and tropical fruits, nelson sauvin hop maybe. Flavour is crisp lemon, straw, more nelson sauvin character. Nice dry finish. Light refreshing body and highly carbonated. Golden orange colour with a lasting white frothy head and some lace. Really delicious. Little bit of floral honeysuckle and solid clean bitterness. Very impressed.

Bottle from Beer Central, Sheffield. Hazy gold. Huge, mucky white head. Bosh of pink grapefruit hoppiness. Light spice. Some honeyed flora. Taste is marmalade sweet. Light, spicy bitter. A little fusty yeast thing rounds up nicely. Chewy malt on the palate. Finishes light bitter. Very tasty.
