Gravity cask at the Handsome Sam, Whitstable. Poured a mostly clear light golden colour with a bubbly white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light grassy hops. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a light, smooth, watery, light dank, woody hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation.

Half-pint, gravicask at The River Ale House. Next-to-clear warm golden body, upper part lacing from a filmy layer. Lemony hops and cereal malts on the nose. Hop fruity taste with impacts of lemon and grapefruits, soft malty backbone. Mid-dry fruity bitterness to the finish. Medium bodied. Likeable, well treated at the micropub. (Greenwich, London 09.12.2023).

--Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. -- Clear pale golden. Distinct tangerine aroma. Sweet with light body and well rounded mouthfeel. Orange dipped in sugar on creamy malt. Long bitter finish. Too sweet, otherwise harmonious.
