500ml bottle. Clear pale golden colour, minimal white head. Aroma is mild, some slightly sweet tropical fruit and hops, malt. Taste follows suit with some fruity hoppiness and slightly sweet malt, mild citrus and bitter grapefruit. Soft carbonation, oily texture. Good balance but a somewhat average beer.

Clear gold, not much aroma. Flavour is bitter hop, bittersweet, tangy citrus. A bit more mellow in the aftertaste, some caramel. Sour aftertaste though.

Bottle from Cambridge Wine Merchants, Cherry Hinton Road. Bright yellow. Almost clear. Distinct white head. Floral smell, hint of lemon and grapefruit. Bittersweet gentle taste, followed up with a much more bitter finish. Citrus and a hint of botanical in the finish. Not quite as good as cask but still pretty damn good.

Bottle @Pulp, Athens. Pours light amber with small diminishing white head. Medium body, dry bitter finish. Malty aromas, fruity notes with a grainy backbone and hoppy kicks for balance. Very refreshing, and well combined with our sausage plate.

Pale golden coloured pour with a fading loose white head. Aroma is nice floral citrus, straw, grains. Flavour is nice semi sweet earthy grains, straw, citrus, firm cirrus grapefruit hop bitterness. Palate is semi sweet moderate carbonation. Very sessionable with a good hoppy kick.
