Can at home in Hackney - sourced via the online shop. Pours lightly hazed gold with a frothy, pure white head. Pithy citrus aroma, some dry pale malts, grapefruit, white grape. Light sweet flavour with soft rindy bitterness, a little straw, bready pale malts, further grapefruit, peach. Light in body with active, massaging carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, unsurprisingly restrained given the ABV, more citrusy hops and dry pale bread. Fine and drinkable.

440ml can from Hop Burns & Black. Canned 190418. Pours yellowish orange with a small head. Aroma of juicy tropical notes, herbal hops, pine and grass, hints of grapefruit. Taste is crisp, slightly fruity and herbal hoppy with some pine, grass and citrus. Finish is smooth, fruity and herbal hoppy with some grass, pine and citrus, hints of grapefruit. Smooth, quite easy going and quaffable. Pretty nice for a 2,9% ABV beer.

Pint can from Colin. Bright golden, active carbonation. light foamy head. Aroma is citrus, some citrus peel, some of the grain bill. Taste brings some tangerine and orange, a bit of hop zing up front, fading to some dry grainy notes towards the back. Light bodied, tangy.

Can from Cork & Cask. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of cornflakes, orange and liquorice root. Flavour of grapefruit, herbs and orange zest. Thin body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. Subtle and delicate - two words I don’t normally associate with Cloudwater or Chinook hops.

Can at the inlaws, from the online store, 28/04/18. Lightly hazed golden orange with a decent off white covering. Nose is tangerine, melon, pineapple, airy malts, grass, papaya, citric tinged straw. Taste comprises tangerine, light citric pith, floral bite, faint herb, straw, grass, toasted malts, nectarine, perfumed tones. Medium to lighter body, fine carbonation, semi drying close sprayed with balanced juicy hop bitterness. Decent enough hop shizzle ... most decent for the ABV but overly floral and not a patch on the 2.9% IPL I had last night !
