Bottle shared courtesy of Grumbo. Very lively on opening. Aroma of hops, citrus, yeast and summer berries. A touch of bitterness on the finish.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Light cloudy gold with a nice foamy white top with decent lacing. Blackcurrant and gooseberry notes on the nose with some grains and straw. Taste is of a similar persuasion with a touch of hop resin. Light bodied, refreshing and slick with a frothy carbonation and a nice hoppy bitterness. The previous 6 beers I've had from 8 Sail I've rated a maximum of 3.4. This one is a step up for me, really enjoyed it.

NERAX cask, 4/20/23. Clear, deep blonde, frothy, white head. Sulfur, mineral, rich buttery honey and juicy hops. Succulent malt. Clean. Soft, malty, hoppy with sulfur, mineral, juicy grape and a bit of appley yeast. Great bitterness levels (low) with excellent, well attenuated malt. Finally a decent pale beer at this fest.

500ml bottle from The Real Ale Store. Shared with Finn. Gusher! Loose white head over a close-to-clear late straw coloured body. Spotty lacing. Moderate smell of grassy hops with a touch of citrus. Hints of berry-fruits to the taste character, grassy. Mild citric bitterness to the ending. Soft on the swallow. Satisfying. (Hotel room, Nottingham 14.10.2022).

Delt med Rune på rom 301, Premier Inn Nottingham Arena. Hissig. Problematisk skum som roer seg etter hvert. Lys gylden. Spotlacing. Aroma av syrlig frukt. Smaken fersken. Tørr bitter avslutning.
