330ml can Sophie's Beer Store, straight from the can after a ride at Hopton Woods. No comment on appearance. High carbonation out the can, nice floral fruity hop action, grapefruit with citrussy notes, mild pineapple hints, floral. Decent.

2/7/2022. Can shared at fonefan tasting. From Beer Central, Sheffield. Pours almost clear pale golden orange with a large frothy white head. Aroma is tropical, citrus, grapefruit, grass, passionfruit. Moderate sweetness, heavy bitterness. Moderate body, slightly watery, above average carbonation. Bitter finish with some developing tartness. Quite okay but was too watery and carbonated.
