0,5L bottle BB 05.08.14. Pours slightly opaque golden with decent white head. The head stays for some time. It has nice lacing. Aroma: citrus, grass, pine. Taste: citrus, grapefruit, caramel, pine, some mango. Finish is grapefruit bitter. Overall: a little bit too thin for my taste. It tastes a lot like hoppy lemonade.

Bottle, 10C. Hazy pale amber with a white head. Delicate hoppy aroma of citrus and tropical fruit - mango, lychee, grapefruit, orange blossoms. Light creamy texture, very alive. Sweet and fruity with some bubble gum. Finish is quite dry but not all that bitter. A little pine at the end too. Sophisticated combination of hops, lovely balance.

Cask ale, half at Blue Blazer. Disappearing white tophead. Clear, pale amber coloured body. Moderate citrus nose with a resin-like touch. Fresh fruit hoppy taste joined by malty sweetness beneath. Smooth bittersweet tail, well balanced and bodied. Quite moreish stuff (Edinburgh 09.08.2013).

Tasting at ChrisO’s. Light haze on this gold beer. Big off white head. Light crisp palate. Light malt cream - good fresh tasting hops. Fairly lemon floral - a bit Sorachi Ace like. Light skunk and citrus. Light dry finish. Second best beer of the day I think.
