Bottled. A hazy yellow beer with a huge white head. The aroma has notes of straw, lemons, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, lemons, wheat, and barley, leading to a bitter finish.

Bottle. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Deep gold. Fully opaque. Bubbly, thick, sticky, bright white head. Nose has lemon and lime zest. Dry grain. Hint of peach and nectarine. Taste is green, leafy bitter. Fairly dry. Mouthfeel is sharp and light bodied. Finish is overly bitter and pretty drying. Didn’t get on with this one.

33cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. A cloudy straw coloured pour with a loose white head; sweet lemony aroma; interesting sweet and sour taste with bitter grapefruit citrus and sugary lemonade. Refreshingly different.
