Keg at The Merchant, CW, 21/03/19. Clear golden to light amber with a decent off white head that retains well. Nose is caramel malts, grass, floral notes, orange peel. Taste comprises light breads, hint of biscuit, orange pith, melon, tangy citric peel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with balanced hop bitterness. Decent enough clean drinking pale.

Draft. A golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of hops, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, fruit, and hints of caramel, leading to a bitter finish.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up at Hop Burns & Black. Pours totally clear gold with a frothy, pure white head. Overall, really solid, really drinkable pale gear. Has some restrained citrus fruits, tangerine in particular, along with moderate dry, bready pale malts. Light bodied with average carbonation. Dry and pithy in the finish, some rindy bitterness, a bit of flinty minerality. Drinks nicely.

Keg at the bottle shop druid Street. A clear golden orange coloured pour with a lasting sticky white head. Aroma is semi sweet, buttered bread, grass, sileage, orange rind, tangerine. Some crayon on the nose. Flavour is composed of semi sweet bready malts, leafy grassy hop, light grains, palate is semi sweet, moderate carbonation, light grains. Not bad. Ok.
