Keg draught at the brewery taproom, Wandsworth. As 'Surfin Byrd'. Pretty sure it is the same beer. Dark gold, mostly clear with a small off-white head. Resinous aroma, lots of malt, tangerine and persimmon, light spice. Sweet taste with a little bit of bitterness at the end. It's good but not as good as the aroma suggests it will be. Light to medium.bodyand carbonation. A competent IPA that starts well and fizzles out a bit.

Keg at Waterloo Tap. 5% on the blackboard. Sweet citrus aroma. Slightly cloudy copper gold. Thin translucent white head. Medium bitter. As per aroma there's some sweet citrus sourness under the medium bitterness. A touch of spice adds marmalade. Light bodied. Thin but slick. Lifted by soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish with a touch of astringency. Decent enough if the bitterness isn't quite in sink with the citrus.
