Tap at Craft Beer Co, Covent Garden. Aroma is bitter with a citrus edge. Pale opagw gold. Thick fluffy foamy white head - the lacing had spiderweb qualities. Underlying fruity sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Pleasent with an edge.

Bottle at picked up from the Bottle Shop Druid St. A lovely translucent golden yellow / straw coloured pour with a lasting loose frothy white head. Aroma is nice soft tropical fruits, grape, lychee, mango, pear with bready grains. Whiffs of floral citrus on the nose as well. Flavour is composed of white bready grains, mango and peach melba fruits, hints of grape and pear fruits. Little lingering Neapolitan ice cream. Palate is soft and easy going, moderate carboantion with a rounded finish. Really tasty. Superb pale ale!

Very hazy gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is semi dry with decent fine carbonation. Light malts, mild thin creamy sweetness. Light tropical fruits, tangy. A little orange and lemon. Seltzer - sherbet runs throughout. A light dry finish. Mild peel bitter linger. Nice. The Aussie hops not too bitter here.

Bottle from The Bottle Shop Bermondsey and drunk at home. Cloudy orange gold colour lasting white head. Lots of tropical fruit on the aroma. Smells like fruit juice. Some earthiness on the flavour. Lots of mango passionfruit oranges. Not bitter on the finish. Good but not quite one of tthe greats. Still pretty good fruit juice though.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from Offie and Toffee in Bethnal Green. Pours unclear gold with a creamy, white head. Explosively juicy and citrusy on the nose, with plenty of tangerine, some dank melon, light pine, pale bread. Light sweet flavour with sturdy, flinty minerality, pithy tangerine, light rindy bitterness. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly pithy, flinty and drying in the finish, with more tangerine, lemon rind, melon, mandarin orange, pale bread sugars. Really nice, although it seems like the yeast in suspension is lending the beer a flinty character. Still, solid overall.

(Thx!) Sampled draft @ Tilquin English Beer Festival 2016. Very hazy golden, little white head. Nose is very dank hops, rustic, almost some funk, grass, grains, nice. Taste is creamy & milky yeast, bit too yeasty too really shine, dominates the whole a bit still some nice grass, low dank. Only if it were less milky & yeasty. Still pleasant enough, drinks easily.
