Bottled (Gusher warning!). Hazy golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is zest, some floral notes with mild yeast and some slight earthy notes as well. Flavour is fruity, some sweet malts, mild yeast, some floral notes as well as some herbs and grass.

Can thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - very lively. Big lovely head. Finally a bit of cloudy orange. Nose - peach and mango but also a bit of sherbet. Taste - more sherbet. Dominating the tropical fruits. Palate - light bodied and tangy throughout. Overall - not as the brewer intended.

Can from Ales by Mail. Gusher. Pours hazy pale gold with a thick white head, mostly head in fact. Aromas of light sherbet, probably a bit infected. Some hoppiness comes through it though, light grapefruit. Taste is more grapefruit, quite dry and sherbetty though. Will try again if I see it.

Bottle at home, 15/10/17. Clear golden with a well appointed white cap of bubbles that retains well. Nose is biscuit, straw, hint of tangerine, grassy, light bread, pale malts. Taste comprises citric tinged straw, lemon rind, grass, light floral note, hint of bready malts, tangerine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. On the bland side ... not unpleasant but doesn't deliver much.

Can at home in Hackney - big thanks to Matteo for sending. Bit of a gusher. Pours unclear gold with a billowing white head. Needs a while to calm down. The aroma holds dry, grainy pale malts, some hay, lemon peel. Light sweet flavour with bitter grass, husky grains, dirty hay, more lemon peel, some bread crust, biscuits. Light bodied with lively, mouth-filling carbonation. Finishes with more grassy bitterness, subtle plastic notes, more husky grains, bitter straw. Pretty ho hum overall.

Can. Mitchell's Wines, Sheffield. Lively pour. Hazed Gold. Huge, rocky, dirty white head. Nose seems nicely balanced biscuity malts, and lemon and orange hoppage. A little pithy and zesty. Notes of peach stone, too. Taste is light, biscuity sweet, with clean, pithy bitterness. Clean, lightly drying mouthfeel, marred slightly by the huge fizz going on. Dry, and citrus zest bitterness to finish.
