Can at Yo Sushi, Birmingham. Clear dark gold with a white head and light fizz. Bready, cereal-y notes up front. A little lemon, a little grass and quite an assertive bitterness. Nowt wrong with it, just a bit boring. Clashed badly with my pumpkin katsu curry though.

330ml can at home. Clear gold with a fluffy white head. Sweet malt aroma, flavour is dry and bitter, but still refreshing. Unusual but I like it

Can on the Norfolk Dumpling, thanks to Gordon, 27/01/24. Pale golden blonde with a white cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is melon, tangerine, soft malts, mandarin. Taste comprises orange zest, grass, melon, papaya, light breads. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with mellow light juicy hop bitterness. Okay sessioner.

Can at home in Hackney - cheers to Ben! Pours clear gold with a small, creamy white head. Lightly biscuity pale malts, some citrus rind, nips of pine. Light bodied with average carbonation. Pretty well balanced finish, more biscuity pale malts, balanced bitterness. Easygoing.

Can on 2nd November 2023 from CoOp. Pours hazy golden amber with shallow off-white foam and full lacing. Tango citrus aroma with sweet malts. Grasses, grapefruit juice, non-sweet malts and zesty peel in-mouth. A zesty citrus finish with grassiness. Medium bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.

Can from Co-op, Oldmeldrum. It pours clear golden with a decent, fluffy white head. The aroma is quite interesting, fragrant, floral, rose Turkish delight, tropical fruits, lychee, orange squash, touch of grain and bread. The taste is crispy, dry, fairly firm, bitter - sweet, tinned fruit cocktail, tropical fruit vibes, lychee, papaya, watermelon, orange peel, pithy, zesty, orange squash, floral, slightly soapy, toasty grain, cereal, Turkish delight and a touch of spice with a dry, zesty finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Quite interesting combo imo.
