Can from Beer52. Misty gold with small white top. Aroma is citric with hints of the botanical. Taste has a lemon and lime fruitiness with botanicals and a drying pine finish. Light to medium bodied, slick, easy drinking but with a very dry end. Its decent.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear amber beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, fairly dry, I think the botanicals add to the dryness. Light malts, a modest sweetness. Hops bring a mostly ripe but reasonably bright piney citrus, some peel in there. Gin botanicals very obvious, slightly herbal, floral and bitterish. They go quite well with the hops. A light and semi dry finish. Interesting experiment and for me it works, as in a foundation to build on. I reckon a nice West Coast dipa with good C hoppage and the same level of botanicals. Please!

Can at home, thanks to Sharon for picking up on the Waitrose order, 22/06/24. Almost clear golden orange with a good sized lasting off white head. Nose is orange zest, herb, grass, toasted grains, hedgerow, trace of botanicals. Taste comprises grass, twist of grapefruit, bitter orange, herb, light botanicals, citric tinged straw, light minerality. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with grassy come earthy hop bitterness. Not bad to be fair ... I mean hard to believe these guys were a top 5 UK brewer once upon a time that I'd actively seek out but this beer warrants more than the 3.28 average it presently sits on.

A hazy pale yellow pour with a greenish cast and a murky, sticky, off-white head. Aroma is mostly citrus: lemon, kumquat, lime... Some herbs, like arugula, are present too. Dry, crisp, medium to low body. Quite bitter, long-lasting finish.
