Draught at Canary Square, 3/21/17.
Not cloudy. More of a moderate haze, with a tangerine skin mixing with softer brass body and a small, off-white head showing low retention, atop.
Banana, lots of clove and mild coconut in the nose mix with lots of wheat-like graininess and low malt richness. Smells fine, albeit seems like it’s very dry and heavily influenced by the sparse cracker and wheat character.
In the mouth it shows the clove and light banana with light bubble gum and coconut on the finish. Coconut isn’t overdone, though I don’t feel it adds anything and so wonder why it is done at all. Very dry, very light, watery though with some redeeming maltiness on the very end. A bit of sharp esters break through and there’s a touch of light alcohol.

Can shared in London - thanks to Elena for the scoop! Pours unclear gold with a creamy, white head. The nose as some rindy citrus, wheat bread, coconut. Medium sweet flavour with more oily coconut, tangerine, melon, more wheat bread. Light bodied with average carbonation. Balanced finish with continuing oily coconut, tangerine, other citrus, wheat bread. Good balance, nice depth. Solid.
