500ml bottle. Clear, yellow-ish golden colour with small to average, thick, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Grassy, floral and slightly citrusy hoppy aroma, a touch of lemon tea, lemon zest, lemongrass, malty spiciness with a caraway touch, a cautious imitation of funk. Taste is citrusy hoppy with grassy and floral impurity, hints of lemon tea, lemongrass, a malty touch of caraway-spiced bread. I agree with Jimthechap: More enjoyable taken as a whole than analysed into its primary constituent parts.

Cask at the brewery. Pale yellow clear pour with a steadfast pure white head head. Aroma is fresh cereal grains, light hedgerow berries, faint citrus. Flavour is tangy grains, faint lemon, cereal, light cut grass. Palate is light and refreshing, grainy, good cask condition. Lingering grassy hop. Nice light pale ale.

Bottle from Booths, Media City. Pale golden with next to no head. Well hopped with a dryness in its texture and taste. There’s a nice light dry fruitiness attached to this ale as well as crisp low bitterness.

Clear golden beer with a thin white head. Aroma is hoppy and citrus-y. Flavour is pretty dry. Not spectacular as nothing leaps out, leaving a bitter, if slightly watery, aftertaste. If any one aspect of the flavour - bitter hop, zesty citrus, sour fruit - jumped out a bit more it’d be more than simply good.

Summer beer with some wheat malts. Snow white, thinnish but stable head, colour clear golden blonde. Grassy hops in the nose as well as hints of yeast, banana and grapefruit. Light caramelly malt sweetness in the mouth, grainy, vague wheat sourishness, yeasty and dry with spicy citrus touch and hop bitter finish. Less creamy than usual in this style - unfortunately, I’d add - but still very enjoyable.
