Bottle at Kร14. Grassy hop aroma. Almost clear pale yellow colour. Small white head. The flavour is OK hoppy, grassy and fairly refreshing. Good mouthfeel.

From a 500ml bottle on 26/4/2014. Pours a slightly cloudy golden yellow with a small head. Fruity hops and some honey present in the aroma. Flavour wise, it very zesty with orange lemon and grapefruit all there in spades, against a background of grain and bready malt. Thereโs a distinct dry bitterness as the back which lingers in the mouth for quite a while. The palate is a touch creamy and the carbonation average to lively. This is quite similar to the Oakham Citra in many respects, which is a good thing. Nice stuff.

500ml bottle from B&M Bargains Stockton. Clear deep golden colour, foam white head and aroma of caramel and fruity citrus hop. Taste is biscuity malt & grain with a lemon citrusy hop bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel, light bodied, soft to medium carbonation, dry lingering grapefruit bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Cask @ Brewery Tap, Peterborough. Clear light gold with a decent white head. Aroma of gooseberry, grain and a tiny bit of funk. It taste extremely good: a bitter hoppy hit with more bitterness at the back of the throat. Lingering bitter aftertaste. Thin palette. A great beer, but then Iโm having it in optimum condition.

Cask at Staggs Bar. Clear golden body with a dense white head. Thick lacing that completely coats the glass. Aroma of soap, grapefruit and orange. Flavour of citrus fruit and straw - wonderfully balanced and incredibly drinkable. Medium body with an oily texture. Flat carbonation. A lovely beer, much better on cask than in bottle (so much so that Iโm going to gave to revisit the bottled version, which I only rated as 2.7).
