Can at home shared with Laura after a nice bike ride. Clear sort of bright yellow color, white head. Smell and taste both are really pleasantly tropical fruit hoppy. No time for an elaborate description, but I quite like this one.

Draught @ Konttori Aroma has grapefruity hops amd tropical fruits. Flavour has grapefruity hops, tropical fruits. Minerals also, feels a bit hard. Foamy palate is a bit too high on CO2. Good and crisp.

440ml can at the Wrekin Inn (Wellington, Shropshire) on 28th February 2023. Light haze in the golden body, snow white head. Mosaic hops doing their citrusy and piney thing on a bed of semi-sweet malt, nice!

440ml can. Clear golden amber, big white head. Aroma of citrusy and resinous hops, caramel malt. Taste of orange, grapefruit, sweet caramel malt, resinous, pine, bitter finish. Medium bodied. Great westie, ramp up the bitterness and it'd be even better!

In mouth, a nice sweet caramel malt with loads of resinous piney hops, light treacle, very nice and smooth. On tap at The Experiment.
