Bottle 33 cl. Pours a cloudy opaque dark golden with a creamy white head. Spicy, slight oxidation in nose? Good body considering its strength, hint of Sorachi? Alright. 150719

Bottle picked up at Lidls. It pours clear rich amber with a medium white head. The aroma is fresh, zingy grapefruit, perfumed, oily, resinous and a touch of toffee. The taste is firmly dry, bitter, rawness, grapefruit, pithy, zesty, slightly soapy, peppery spice and varnish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not a huge amount to it and has a heavier malt base than I like for this style, but it drinks well.

330ml bottle from Lidl. Clear amber with a moderate white head. Sweet tropical fruit aroma, flavour is soft and buttery with some citrus and pineapple coming through late. Not for me

Cask half-pint on 9th July 2017 in The Roseburn, Edinburgh. Golden pour, white crown with lacing. Citrusy brew with a light malty undertone: did not take to it at all for some reason.

Bottle from Cork & Cask. Clear amber body with a a few bits of sediment floating beneath a medium off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of copper and mango peel. Flavour of watery lemon and grain. Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft fizz. Simple and refreshing.
