From tap at Craft Beer Co - Clerkenwell 03.02.22. Cloudy yellow straw colour. Fine white head and lacing. Inviting aroma and taste of lychee, grapefruit, lemons, tamarind and pale malt. Crisp mouthfeel. Complex and quaffable.

Hazy golden beer, good white head. Light grapefruit smell, as you'd expect. Flavour has grapefruit, of course, some bitter lemon, grassy hop and there's a bit of maltiness to it as well which is nice. Simple but tasty and refreshing. The Kernel are great at this sort of pale. I could drink this all day.

500ml bottle delivered from the Real Ale Classroom, Leicester and drunk at home. It's very light in colour, pale gold but not quite straw, clear with a small white head. Big grapefruit and lemon peel aroma as befitting a Citra beer. The hop bitterness is pervasive in the taste without being too extreme, with bitterness increasing slightly near the finish (but with a nice lip-smacking malt note as well). Lightly carbonated. Loving it.

Bottled 9/5/20 from the online shop. Tight white foamy head stayed on an unclear light gold body. Citrus aroma. Medium bodied, sharp in the front with a smoother cloying back. Fresh tastes if orange, lemon, pithy & sweet citrus with a bitter finish. Excellent!
