330ml bottle: bottled on 20th Feb 15. Poured into a Hoegaarden Grand Cru badged tulip at home on 14th Jul 15. Hazy light orange pour, even though no sediment was seen leaving the bottle: the head a large white, deep blanket of foam. Tropical fruit esters in the aroma, oranges playing a major role in the nose and also in the taste: lemon flavours around in the brew as well. Bitter from the hop content and βpithyβ in flavour and nature. Drying finish: decent.

Cask-conditioned at the Gravity Station, Cardiff, 12/3/2015. Golden in colour, with a slight, white, head. Aroma of citrus fruit, biscuity malts and a touch of grassy hops. Flavour had lemon fruit, more crisp malts and a long lasting, dry, finish. Enjoyable.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Hazy gold. Bubbly, lasting, white head. Earthy, peachy, citric hop. Some flora. Light savoury note, such as onion skin, maybe. Taste is crisp, citric bitter, with a little of that earthiness. Crisp, dry palate. Lots of life. Finishes zingy, lengthy bitter.
