500 ml bottle, from Ales By Mail. ABV is 3.5%. Clear golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of fruity, herbal and grassy hops. Pleasant fruity Nelson Sauvin hops in the flavour too, light bodied of course, but not bad for a 3.5% beer. Decent bitterness.

(Cask at Craft Clerkenwell, London, 11 Apr 2014) Golden colour with foamy, white head. Fruity, malty nose with citrus, grass and grainy malt. Fruity, malty taste with notes of citrus, biscuits, grass and a generous bitterness with a touch of resin in the finish. Rather light body, quite dry. Fresh and highly drinkable. Nice one.
