From cask at St. James of Bermondsey 16.03.24. Clear golden. Aroma and taste if biscuits, burnt circuit boards and so in. Far from great.

(Cask, gravity, at Pikkulintu Ruttopuisto, 20231028) The beer poured deep golden and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had toffee, malts and fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were toffee, grass, fruitiness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, malty and bitter. A tasty and balanced hoppy brew with good malty backbone.

(Cask at Craft Beer Co Covent Garden, London, 17 May 2023) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with peaches, citrus, white bread and floral hops. Malty, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, peaches, grass, soft malt and a mild floral bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and refreshing. Nice one.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Beer Merchants online. Pours clear gold with a fluffy, pure white head. Lightly sweet with lots of fresh crispy biscuits, crunchy cereal, straw, grass. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Finishes with more crunchy biscuits, dirty straw, a little earthy bitterness. Really well rounded and drinkable.

Pours a bit hazed blonde. Medium small white head. Scent is mild, some hops (green), mild malty touch. Taste is malty, definately to the bitter side. Earthy, bit floral hops. To the drier side. Fairly high carbonation. Decent.
