500ml Bottle: BBD end of August 14. Poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard in the early hours of 6th May 14, after a long shift at a beer festival pulling but not drinking! very pale, straw blonde with a good white crown. Citrus nose and a very strong citrus taste, the Citra hops obviously doing their job well. A little too lively, so well carbonated I suppose. Just too much of a citrus bent for me, refreshing yes, but I prefer a more balanced brew with a maltier feel to the proceedings. Scored objectively.

Botella de 33 cl en noviembre de 2013 del rincón de la cerveza. Esta con lúpulos golding (UK) y citra (USA) entre otros y con un cuerpo medio de 6 vol. Sabores frescos y un amargo final seco y resinoso mas o menos persistente en boca. Buena.

JDW Paramount, Manchester 25 Jan 13. Blek gyldenbrun. OK luftig skum med litt lacing. Litt uklar. Ferskenaroma. Smaken er grapefrukt. Blir etterhvert tørr. Veldig tørr avslutning. Bra øl!

On tap at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - Nose - floral but you have to search. Taste - mostly hop resin but with a creamy bitter lemon. Palate - light bodied with a tangy texture and unfortunately the finish is just too bitter to balance with this light body. Overall - some tasty features but not quite right.

500ml bottle from Sainsbury - A bit of a hazy yellow body, solid white head, lacing all the way through. A heavy lemon-cum-grapefruit nose, it carries into the taste too, with a constant carbonating body.
