Tap at Tilt, Birmingham. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, tropical citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a crisp, fresh, piney hop, juicy citrus, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Wine Cellar, Dalston. Pours mostly clear gold with a tight, frothy white head. Light-medium sweet flavour with notes of plump tangerine, white grape, a little pale bread, subtle piney bitterness, nips of peach and apricot. Light bodied with massaging carbonation - ideal mouthfeel. Balanced finish, background resin, more white grape, a little peach, kiwi, lemon rind, pale bread, straw. Fun stuff and wildly drinkable.
