Bottle at home from the launch at CBC Brixton. Translucent light hazed orange Colour with a reluctant halo white head. Aroma is nice classic cascade / c- hop light grassy hop with a twist of lemon. Nice clean ferment. Nose has clean bready malt character as well. Flavour follows the aroma is is pretty spot on for an APA. Bit of a light touch on the hops, but i like that. The carbonation is a bit lacking, maybe needs a bit more time or more priming sugar. Finish has a nice lemon twang. Semi dry finish. I enjoyed this. With a few tweaks that could be a really sessionable APA.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from CBC Brixton. Pours lightly hazy gold with a moderate, frothy white head that settles into a cream. Pretty classic aroma of pale, lightly doughy malt nose with touches of hay and lemon. Light sweet flavor with a character that follows as expected based on the nose: some lightly dried pale malts, a bit of white bread, dirty hay, lemon rind, background citric tang. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly drying on the finish with bitter hay and rindy citrus, balanced by a very simple pale malt base. A highly drinkable golden ale.
