27/11/2021. Bottle bought direct from the brewery, shared with ITFCfan/Dan. Pours slightly hazy pale gold with a frothy white head. Aroma of citrus, grass, malt, touch of gooseberry. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness, touch of tart. Moderate body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Not bad.

30th June 2017: cask half-pint in Oakengates, Shropshire. Slight haze to the golden pour, white head. Citrusy brew, but better than most of this style of brew.

On cask at Coach and Horses, Dronfield - A clear straw colour with a thin white head. Aroma of grapefruit, some lemon zest, slight straw, subtle herbs and floral hops. Taste is similar of grapefruit, some lemon zest, straw and floral hops. Light bodied and soft carbonation. A dry, citrus hop bitterness in the finish. Full of flavour, nice.
