Can 330ml (KSM Kampus) Clear golden-amber colour, small steady white head and lace. Odd grassy, smokey, toilet aroma. When it gets airs, more fruity. Light-bodied. Grassy, pale malty, grapefruit in the finish. Must vibe. Neh.

Can @ Tommyknocker, Helsinki. Poured clear golden in color. Thin white head. Aroma of ripe sweet fruits, malts and candy sweetness. Light bitterness, grapefruit in finish. Not the freshest feel over it.

Can taken away from the West End Brewery, Leicester. Bright gold, clear with only a small ring of white head. Grapefruit notes, some gluey resin, a bit of camphor. Hop-led bittersweet taste with more light citrus on the tongue. Far more bitter and astringent in the finish and aftertaste. Very basic APA, but a good one.

[33cl can from Beer52.] Pale amber with a loose white head; floral aroma; sweetish floral taste with a grainy body; and a light piney bitterness an slight warmth to finish. A pleasant session IPA.
