Can from Hogs Back brewery shop. Resin aroma with some floral notes. Hazy pale orange. Thinning frothy translucent white head. Initial sweet edged citrus sourness. This then develops a boozy syrupyness. However it remains relatively low key. Medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Relatively abrupt finish. It's fine but gets a bit sickly.

Can at L6 tasting, thanks to Kenny, 27/06/19. Lightly hazed golden yellow with a decent off white cap. Nose is sweet malts, melon, grass, tangerine. Taste comprises grapefruit, orange pith, citric zest, grass, light malts. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with balanced hop bitterness. Low end DIPA … sippable but lacks hop presence.

Can shared at the Columbus Tasting 27/06/2019. Many thanks to Kenny! A nice translucent pale gold coloured pour with a fine sticky white head. Aroma is spicy citruas, plastic, white grape, little brut yeast. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, rounded, wheat, some straw grains, grassy hop, dirty grass. little weed. Palate is semi sweet, spicy, moderate carboantion. Not bad, not a huge fan. Weird dirty grains.

Can shared in London - cheers to Vintage Kenny. Pours lightly hazy gold with a frothy, white head. Nice beer, moderately pithy, with juicy citrus, good balance. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Nicely balanced finish as well.

Level 6 bottleshare. Can. Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Smooth and slightly soft palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft malts, mildly sweet. Light pine. A touch of fresh citrus and then modest citric pith. Nibble of spice. Whisper of mango. The whole is better than the sum of its parts. Quite drinkable.
