Bottle at home in London with Lyoli - picked up at Bambuni down in Nunhead. Pours lightly hazy yellow-gold with a creamy white head. The aroma has a little pin needle edge, some lemon, melon, pale bread, grapefruit. Light sweet flavor, brisk and crispy, with subtle lemony tartness, some wheat bread, straw, low acidity. Light bodied with fine, spritzy carbonation. Fairly quenching and refreshing on the finish, with further lemon, some peach, tangerine, a little hay and pine, subtle tartness. Refreshing, easy-drinking stuff.

Bottle. Nose is vanilla, slight green apple, lemon, hint of almond. Taste is very lightly tart, hints of lemon and lots of lime, slight cereal and matliness, mineral. Mouthfeel is very carobnated. Quite how you make a sour beer this bland is a mystery.

To me this was a little bit to much lemon radler. Would be nice on a sunny warm day at the beach.
Unclear yellow color with a small white head. Ok body and a fine carbonation. Pleasant fresh acidity. Ok intensity in the aroma. Lemon dominated flavor. Also some yeast and apples. Decent ok thirst quencher.
