Can thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - bright yellow. Light lacing. Nose - gorse for sure, not quite at the coconut that gorse often gives. Light darkness. Taste - coconut this time. Lime zest. Plant stalks. Palate - creamy texture, elegant through the middle and balanced finish. Overall - very interesting beer.

Panda pop thanks to Shig, watching the first T20 vs Pakistan, 28/08/20. Lightly hazed golden orange with a decent off white head. Nose is lemon rind, grass, grains, dusty fruit esters, light herb. Taste comprises citric tinged straw, hedgerow, drop of lime juice, grass, lemon zest. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light bitter edge. Fine.

21/8/2020. Can from Northumbrian Gifts. Pours very slightly hazy pale gold with a bubbly/frothy white head. Aroma of flowers, citrus, light coconut, gorse and a hint of honey. Medium sweetness and bitterness. Moderate body, slight creamy texture, average carbonation. This one was something of a surprise after the Mad Jack, enjoyed it.
