(Draught at Craft Beer Co Covent Garden, London, 28 May 2022) Hazy yellow colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, grapefruit, pineapple and passion-fruit. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of grapefruit, pineapple, passion-fruit, grass and a balanced citric bitterness. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and rich with generous amounts of juicy hops. Very nice.
