Clear golden colour. There’s a light fruity hoppiness in both the aroma and flavour. Exceptionally thin bodied and watery though.

On cask at the Shoulder of Mutton, Bradwell. Appearance - hazy golden with a decent head. Nose - lightly floral and some citrus. Taste - more citrus though dominated by malt. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - refreshing if unexciting.

Cask-conditioned at the Lime Kiln, Bristol 28/2/2016. Golden in colour, with a decent, white, head. A touch of citrus fruits, cereal malts, a hint of leafy hop and a moderately bitter finish. OK.

Shared bottle at ExABC tasting thanks to deanso. Copper golden with thin white head. Sweet caramel malts and weedlike hop bitterness. Light sweet and over medium bitter. Medium body, dry, stale bitter finish, no carbonation. Could use more carbonation imho! --- Beer merged from original tick of Explorer on 21 Nov 2017 at 15:37 - Score: 6. Original review text: 3.2

Bottle shared thanks to deanso. Clear golden with barely any head. Light fruity hops up front, stale malts, citrus. Not too bad, but the finish has some lingering skunky and poop notes. Light sweet and bitter. Light bodied with no carbonation and bone dry feel.

Tap. Brewhouse, Sheffield. Didn’t know what style of beer this was, but I’d have put it as a 5% odd IPA. So either this drinks way above its weight, or I don’t know my beer arse from my elbow. Hmm...
