500ml bottle from Chester Beer and Wine. Gluten Free. Golden colour, white foam head leaving lacing and aroma of malt, grain, citrus. Taste is malty, grainy, with biscuit, straw, citrus, and tangy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Hand-pulled pint at The Crown Inn, Oakengates Shropshire on 27th May 2022. Light golden body, white head. Citrus front with Lemons to the fore, didn't even notice any 'ginger', not mentioned on the pump-clip and only found out about it when coming onto RateBeer; maybe they've changed the recipe? Anyway it was fine.

This one is currently storming my brain. Clear light golden coloured pale. The Citra hops exude some fruit, but a dominant hopped character is here. It's a sessionable one though, as this slips down the palate with ease. It has a very mild dryness. This is a re-rate having previously tried it in a Manchester Wetherspoon. It turned out to be a better experience this time around.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 7/3/2017. Deep gold in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Aroma of tangerines, pineapple and a touch of citrus hops. Flavour had a touch more sweetish fruit and biscuity malts, leading to a moderately dry finish. Good.
