Bottle shared in London - thanks to Fergus. Pours clear yellow-gold with a creamy white head. Some lightly aged hops in the nose, leaves, lemon rind. Medium sweet flavor with biscuity malts, tea, pale bread. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish, some further tea, pale bread. So so.

Bottle shared at craft beer co clerko. Picked up from Brewdog online. Light yellow / golden coloured pour with a thin white head. Aroma is a nice mix of light caramel, bready malts, grassy hop with nice floral lemon as well. Good balance. Flavour is composed of nice floral lemon, lavender, little cut grass. Palate is airy carbonation, medium light, refreshing. Very poundable. Really good stuff.

Bottle. Pours a clear light gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces. Aroma is full of flora and sweet citrus that has a touch of bitterness and light grain backing. Flavor has more of an earthy/bitter citrus note with a bit of grass and some earthy but sweet grain backing.

Bottle @ weekly tasting shared with Niilstrong. Lightly hazy golden color, decent sized white head. Very fruity aroma with hint of melon. Lovely. Taste is lightly malts, hops, fruits, subtly bitter. Soft, yet suitable mouthfeel, both body and carbonation are soft yet suitable.

Bottle from Gonzo Beer, Coventry. Golden colour, thick white head. Gosh these American pints are big. Aroma a has tropical fruit, citrus and pine. Taste is slightly sweet and has a bitter finish. To be honest, it got a bit too much by the end.

650 ml bottle @ Cardinal. Clear golden body with a medium sized white head. Nice, easy and refreshing aroma with citric fruit, some tropical fruit, light malt and hint of pine. Flavor has lots of fruit like aroma, some malt and decent bitterness. Balanced body and OK aftertaste. Nice and refreshing, might have some more bitterness, maybe a bit old?

Fra 65 cl flaske på Cardinaltreff feb-15: lys gylden med moderat skum. Tropiske frukter, litt furunål og naturligvis citrus både i aroma og smak. Flott balansert med maltsødmen og umåte lett å helle innenfor snippen. Amerikanske craft brewers trår sjelden feil i denne stilarten. Lekker.

Shared bottle at Mi2 at Cardinal 23.02.15. Clear pale golden. Diminishing, white head. Refreshing aroma, with pale citrus and tropical fruits. Similar taste. A hint peach, succade and dry fruits in aftertaste. Good drinkability and well balanced.
