Pours a clear golden colour with a small thin white head that quickly settled. The aroma is peach, straw and light lemon. A moderately dry mouthfeel and light bitter taste, doughy malts and lemony flavours with a drying hoppy bitter finish.

(Gravity cask at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, 6 May 2022) Golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of citrus, grapefruit, leafy hops and biscuits. Malty, fruity taste with biscuits, apricots, grapefruit and a fresh floral bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Really tasty and refreshing. Very nice.

Cask at Old Bell, Derby. Pours a golden yellow with a small white head and good lacing. Mango and oranges mix well in the aroma. A bit watery in the mouth, but oranges and melon come through well with some underlying caramel texture. Traces of wheat and pine as well. Finish is surprisingly hoppy and spicy. Quite enjoyable.

330ml bottle. Pours light gold, small white head which keeps retention. My nose takes a while to acclimatise to the citra hop variety so my initial reaction was that it smelled like cats piss. Once settled though, aroma is very hoppy of stewed citrus, flora, earth, spice. Taste is quite dry, with grapefruit, citrus, aromatic, a lager like earthiness. A nice bitterness in the finish. Body is light to moderate with soft carbonation and works well enough. Not my favourite hops but this brew is quite refreshing.
