Can shared in London - cheers! Pours hazy orange-gold with a small, creamy white head. Holds moderate juicy citrus character, light rindy bitterness, pithy orange, dried pale malts, light pale grains. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly grainy finish, more pithy citrus, rindy bitterness. Decent.

Can shared at columbus tasting 09/10/2019. Many Thanks! A hazed golden yellow coloured pour with a frothy white head. Aroma is soft bready grains, wheat, orange rind, dill, decent. Flavour is composed of bready, wheat, orange, mellow sorachi, dill, hint of coconut. Lingering pithy lemon in the finish. Palate is soft and frothy, light tang, some grainy. Good stuff.

Keg @ Vocation & Co, Leeds. Hazy golden with a light carbonation. It's a light example of sorachi hopping, but its influence is still very evident. There's a decent mild fruitiness alongside this, and it also helps to hide the beers strength.

Can. Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Light palate, fairly dry, decent fine carbonation. Light malts, mild creamy sweetness. Good Sorachi, quite bitter here. Floral lemon, of course! Yuzu brings up the rear end, some of that classical tangerine and lime. My favourite hop and my favourite citric fruit should produce a belter! But don't. Not enough Yuzu, a little too much esters. Great Sorachi though, so thanks for that.
