Keg draught at the Real Ale Classroom, Stoneygate, Leicester. Yellow gold and a bit hazy with a huge white head. Light aroma, getting dried mango, lime leaf, touch of sparkling wine. Taste threatens to be sweet but actually has a lovely bitterness to it in the middle of the sip and a dry finish. Nicely carbonated. Not what I was expecting but all the better for it.

Keg at Overdraft, Winchester. Extremely sweet fruity aroma. Cloudy amber. Fluffy white head. Low key sweetness with a bitter edge. More so into the finish. Thin. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Abrupt finish. Like a beery sweet cider.

Cask at EBF 23, 24/03/16. Lightly hazed golden orange with a decent off white covering. Nose is tangerine, apricot, juicy hop flicker, citric tinged straw. Taste comprises mango, tangerine, apricot jam, soft bread, airy malts. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close peppered with juicy hop bitterness. Decent hoppy sessioner ... nice jammy citrics.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 23/12/2015. Hazy, pale, gold with a frothy, white, head. Tropical fruit and grassy hop aroma with some oat flake sweetness. Flavour was dominated by more refreshing fruit, accompanied by balancing malts leading to a lengthy, bitter, finish. Very good.
