On tap @Mad For Beer (Rome). Pours deep golden with a medium white head that rapidly disappears. Aroma is tropical fruits and citrus,a bit dull, also some vegetables. Flavour is light bitter, malt, some hops, dull and messy, probably not so fresh. Medium to light body, higher than expected, medium carbonation. Not a good experience.

Bottle. Appearance- golden and fairly clear, solid 1-2 finger white head. Aroma- floral hops, hint of zesty fruit, some grapefruit. Taste- lemons, maltiness in the background, hoppy notes, lots of bitterness, medium mouthfeel but definitely clingy. Refreshing, nice.

Re - rate again on cask at the Haymarket. Much more tropical fruit going on in both nose and palate. Mango and papaya. Very enjoyable. Previous rating 23.06.14 = 7+3+6+4+13 =3.3 On cask at the Haymarket. Appearance - dark amber with a decent head. Nose - lemon and grapefruit and some sweet bread notes. Taste - grapefruit mostly just a touch of elusive sweetness. Palate - light to medium bodied with a zingy texture and the long dry finish. Overall - solid but slightly unbalanced.

500ml bottle from Sainsburys, Shrewsbury. Bought to see what all the fuss is about. Seemed to be the talk of the town once it hit the shelves of the local Sainsburys. And I can see why.. lined up against all the usual ale suspects this is extremely refreshing. Smooth, floral with a few juicy drops of lime. Good stuff.
