Keg at AGB Hackney Downs - London. Pours clear gold with a tight, creamy white head. Nice expressive Belgian yeast, clean crackery pale mats, a little candi sugar, assertive grassy bitterness. Light to medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Lingering sturdy grassy bitterness to finish. Solid.

Can, picked up at the brewery. Also very many pours down the taproom. Lightly hazed glowing gold. Thin and dense, lasting, lacing shiny white head. Nose has spicy ginger biscuit. Whiff of ripe banana. Herbal hop. Caramel malts. Taste has a rich caramel sweetness, prior to a big hit of leafy, nettle like hop bitterness. Smooth and slick on the palate with foamy carbonation. Lingering leafy bitterness to finish. I’m biased I know, but this is glorious.
