28/2/2020. Cask at the Leicester Beer Festival 2020. Pours clear straw gold with a bubbly off-white head. Aroma of grapefruit, pomelo, hops, citrus and tropical fruits. Light to moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Moderate body. Earthy, lemon finish.

Handpull cask at the Vine Inn, Rugeley. Mid- to dark brownish gold. Clear with an off-white head. Malty aroma, some citrus on the nose, a bit of smoke - or is that from the nearby fire? - and some TCP. Bittersweet taste with a pronounced and distracting vegetal character. Long finish with some citrus peel bitterness. Soft carbonation. Not particularly grapefruit-y but a drinkable if unexciting beer.

Tried at the Newark Beer Festival 2017. Hazy Amber colour with a white head. Light citrus grapefruit aroma and taste that is also shaper sweet then bitter to finish.
