440ml can bought at The Real Ale Store. Shared with Finn. Chalk white head, next-to-clear golden body, upper part lacing. Promising citrus nose, grapefruit to the fore. Zesty citrus flavours, including lemon and grapefruit offset by mild caramel malts. Bittersweet tail. Decent stuff. (Hotel room, Hereford 16.10.2022).

Delt med Rune på rom 9, Premier Inn Hereford. Gyldengul. Klar. Luftig skum som blir film. Litt lacing. Ferskenaroma. Smaken tørket tropisk frukt. Vel søt. Tørr fruktig avslutning. Like bitterhet.

Cask at GBBF '22 day 4, 05/08/22. Clear golden blonde with a white cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is orange zest, grass, light pine needle, melon, papaya. Taste comprises orange zest, melon, soft malts, grass, pine flicker. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close spliced with mellow juicy hop bitterness. Decent enough mid paced cask IPA.
