Can split at Craft Beer Junction, thanks to LKS 18/10/23. Hazed light golden yellow topped with a decent white head. Nose is mellow citric flesh, light floral whisper, grass, melon, mandarin, orange peel. Taste comprises grapefruit, tropical fruits, pine resin, papaya. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with balanced juicy hop bitterness. Tidy.

16 oz draft. Aroma of white grape, straw, and grapefruit rind. Flavor follows with a good amount of juicy grapefruit and traces of white grape. Mild pith and acidity. Soft citrus rind bitterness. Real good!

Pours dirty gold into a tulip. Bright white soapy head with medium retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Lemon joy aromas. Thick with sweet strawberry shortcake and melon upfront turning to earthy melon rind and lemon peel and pith in the lasting finish.

Canned, Parukářka tasting. Huge thanks guys! Murky ochre body, off-white head. Citric notes, orange, grapes, and brown sugar in the aroma. Smooth taste, floral, somewhat citric, quite pleasant, nice bitterish touch in the finish. Nice for the size!

Bottle share at CBJ. Can. Thanks to LKS. A light haze on this gold beer, decent pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, light, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a light creamy sweetness, but fairly sweet. Cooling pine. Light citrus and a little kiwi lime but quite candyish here. Light cooling finish. Smooth.

Can shared in London - cheers to the Duke. Pours hazy yellow-gold with a fluffy, pure white head. Fairly sweet, notes of orange, tangerine, honey, pale bread, low bitterness. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Pretty smooth finish if sweet, notes of white grape, melon, semi-ripe melon. Tasty.
