Bottle from The Beerd in Oxford and drunk at home. Very hazy pale gold lasting thick white head. Tropical fruit and sauvignon blanc wine aroma. A touch of toast. Oddish in mouth with some yellow citrus flavours. Lemon and lime. Yes some lovely fruit. Malt and yeast are mostly neutral. All about the fruit. Which is good. A little muddy earthy.

Bottle from Heaton Hops, consumed the same day, Sunday 19th February 2017, whilst cooking Lamb Similar and also Posh Mac and Cheese. Hazy yolky gold, bit like a burnished dull gold colour with a slim white head. Clean, fresh, soft with a lemony edge, though still retaining a little sweetness. I would not rave about this, that said I like it. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Keg at BD Clerko. It pours cloudy bright golden - orange with a small white head. The aroma is fresh bread, sweet lemon candy, grass, herbal, chive and earth. The taste is crisp, dry, bitter, grassy, herbal, straw, spice, pithy citrus, slightly soapy, minerals, bready malt base and cracker with a firmly dry finish. Light - medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Decent enough, but a bit sub-par for Cloudwater. Easy drinking anyhow.
