As pale as a 100W light bulb but as juicy as an IPA. Session-able, quenching and totally addictive. Biscuity malt base with a hint of sweetness all drenched in fruity/dank hops.
Malt: Extra Pale Ale, Vienna, Oats, Caragold, Carapils. Hops: Simcoe, Centennial. Yeast: LalBrew New England.

Dry seltzer. Light tangy citrus. Orange peel. Hop spice. Little lemon. Dry spicy finish. Over dry but tasry.

Bottle shared at Leightons place, 19/01/2017. Many thanks to Matteo for this one. A clouded, yellow straw, with a sticky white head. Aroma is dank lemon, dishcloth, , spicy, wheaty grains. Flavour is composed of raw grains, grains store, wheat, lemon rind. Palate is grainy, moderate carbonation, semi drying finish. Pretty good.

15th Dec 2016: keg half-pint in Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Very pale amber with a slight hazy look, wispy white head. Exotic citrus aroma, taste similar: bitter, dry and semi-sour in nature. Refreshing and ’moreish’.

On keg, 4.5 % abv, half pint, shared with Finn at Bread and Roses. A hazy golden body, decent white head that left scattered lacing on the glass. Inviting aromas of mid-sweet citrus and bread-like malts. Lemon, pineapple, and grapefruit to the taste buds, malty sweetness beneath. Mild citrus peels towards the finish. Rounded and refreshing with fine drinkability (Plymouth 25.09.2016).

Can at home in London - picked up at Caps n Taps. Pours lightly hazy gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds rindy citrus, dried pale malts, lemon peel. Light sweet flavour with strong flinty minerality, more pithy citrus, rindy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Somewhat dry in the finish, with touches of pine, more mineral flint, lemon peel, faint grapefruit. The minerality dominates here, neutering most of the hop character. Drinkable stuff, if one-dimensional.
