473ml can. Murky, yellow-ish, golden colour with average, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Citrusy fruity hoppy and oaty, slightly wheaty malty aroma, notes of lemon, lemon peel, lemongrass. Taste is moderately bitter, citrusy fruity and grassy hoppy, oaty and slightly wheaty malty basis, notes of lemon, lemongrass, lemon peel, some citric tartness; oaty and hoppy finish. Slightly creamy texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation. Intensely citrusy, but relatively monotonous, not overly creamy - pretty good, not my very best Root + Branch experience, though.

Can sourced from Drikbeer and drunk at home (20/11/2022) - (October 2022 / Batch 7 version) murky golden yellow with a white head. Thick creamy oat laden malty and a big hop soup here with a tropical and citrus fruit malaise, green young dank hoppy, dense oat laden body and mouthfeel, spring onion, grassy and dank hoppy finish. Good but not up to usual Root/branch level expectations
