On tap at The Rusty Bucket, Eltham. Lots of citrus in the aroma, splash of passionfruit, peach. Similar approach in the flavour. Zesty citrusy mouthfeel. Lightly hoppy finish.

Cask @ Tap and Can. Misty milky gold complexion, white head. Soothing lilty exotic profile, set against a moderately light soft cask body.. nicely balanced, smooth tropical hop character. Decent.

Fortsatt godt lesbare og relativt pålitelige notater fra GBBF-23. Fra keg og delt med Steven: uklar strågul med fint skum som varer. Tropiske frukter, grapefrukt, et delikat streif av urter og et granskudd eller to.
