By keg at Colmore. Half-pint shared with Finn. Hazy pale yellow body under a rocky white tophead, rich lacing. Grapefruit nose, inviting. Grapefruit and orange drops to the taste character, bread-like malts beneath. Ends with a bittersweet touch. Nice and refreshing. (Birmingham 03.02.2020).

Keg at the Loaded Dog, Leicester. Light gold, almost straw. Slightly hazy. Little aroma from this one. A bit of candy sugar and perhaps some citrus pulp. Sweet taste, alnost too sweet before a light balancing bitter comes into play. Muted notes of white grapefruit in the finish. Heavily carbonated. Nothing wrong with it, but it's one of Thornbridge's more inconsequential beers. Nothing wrong with 'safe'... but like many recent Thornbridge beers this is bordering on milquetoast.

Etter en lang og flott dag på Stavanger Open fortjener jeg en god fatøl på veien hjem, og turen går naturligvis innom Cardinal. Lett uklar strågylden med fint skum som varer. Deilig citrusfruktighet med friske fraspark og ingen skarpe kanter.

On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV 5.4%. Pale golden colour, white head. Fresh aroma of citrus hops, hints of crushed white grapes and gooseberries. Refreshing flavor, citrussy hops again, some spruce in the finish. Commendable.
