Keg @ Pheasant, Wellington. Served way too cold. Unclear golden yellow, tight white head. Aroma of gentle exotic, pithy pineapple and grapefruit hop. Continues to taste, though something seems amiss, a touch weedy perhaps. Hard to really delve into the true character of this beer being so cold. Also drunk 4th July 2018, but not rated.

Can 440ml (KSM Kampus, BB 02/2020)
Hazy yellow colour, small white head and lace. Grassy, yeasty nose. Light to medium-bodied. A bit juicy, grassy, some citrus in the flavour. Feels oldish. Not much Mosaic-character left.

Keg tap at BottleCraft, Hanley, Stoke. Light yellow/gold, hazy with very little head but quite a bit of lacing. Ripe peach and apricot, a light note of raspberry vinaigrette on the nose. It's fairly sweet at first but sweetness is muted by a slightly astringent hoppy bitterness. Finish is relatively short, with medium to heavy carbonation. Impressive.

Tap at beerlovers bar. Pours unclear blonde, médium white head Ith average stability. Smell is full, fruity, almost a tad cheesy ( mild isovaleric acid?) taste doesn't have that problem though. It seems to me like mosaic hops, yet I can't be certain. Well balanced fruityness, malty undertone. Assertive bitterness, and fairly creamy in body. Carbonation is medium

I Draught /I Good white head over fully hazy pineapplejuice-coloured beer. Lunaria, green nectarines, pineapple, limerind, passionfruit. Asafoetida warming up. Nearly sharpish exotic fruit flavours. Again passion fruit, pineapple and citrus (grapefruitpeel). Again diary, mainly in the finish, and here it gets sweet after some time. Feels rather better bodied, very (hopoil)slick. Definitely an American pale ale, rather than English pale ale.

Keg at The Merchant, Canary Wharf, 27/06/19. Hazed golden yellow with a decent off white head. Nose is bitter orange, melon, grass, toasted grains. Taste comprises orange pith, light grapefruit, hint of breads, grassy bite, citric tinged straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with moderate hop bitterness. Passable pale.

Draft. An unclear yellow beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of citrus fruits, spices, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, citrus fruits, spices, and straw, leading to a bitter finish.

Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 3rd March 2019. Hazy gold with shallow white foam. Fruity citrus aroma. Juicy fruitiness in-mouth with tangerine, tropical fruits and citrus zest. A fruity finish of sweet citrus and berries. Zingy mouthfeel and plenty of body. Superb.
