330ml bottle. Barely clear, yellow-ish, pale golden colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Weak, biscuity malty and slightly citrusy hoppy aroma. Taste is slightly grassy, bitter hoppy, somehow herbal-floral-chalky, a citrusy touch; oily texture, soft palate.

Cask at the Hole in the Wall, Waterloo. Pale straw with a loose white head; citrus aroma; sharp citrus taste; with a crisp grapefruity finish. Straightforward and rather one-dimensional.

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Another flat one. Pours almost clear golden, very light haze. No head, being flat. Aromas of faint citrus, white grape. Taste is sweet, bit cloying. Light astringency builds. Again, some carbonation might have helped.

(Cask at Harp, Charing Cross, London, 23 Apr 2015) Golden amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Fruity, slightly malty nose with apricots, orange and biscuits. Fruity, malty taste with notes of apricots, orange, biscuits and fresh floral hops in the finish. Light body, with a touch of sweetness. Fresh and tasty, but on the thin side. Quite nice.

On tap at Southwark, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Nose and flavour is pretty standard, with dry English hops. Dry, bitter and biscuity. Nothing much to this, but it's well-brewed.

Gravity dispense at the brewery, 11/04/15. Clear golden topped with a moderate light beige swirl. Nose is citric peel, straw, melon, tangerine. Taste comprises faint bread, lemon rind, hint of orange. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, light bitterings in the close. So so GB.
