Avena is full of Citra, Ekuanot and Chinook. It's smooth upfront with lashings of tropical fruit and grapefruit. The finish holds a burst of Chinook-borne bitterness which leads to a very refreshing experience.

Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 10th August 2024. Hazy gold with shallow foam and almost no lacing. Fruity citrus aroma. Zesty peel in-mouth with tropical fruits, the two aforesaid foci dominating the finish. Full bodied with a velvet smooth mouthfeel. Pleasant.

Keg at PoW, Farnborough. Big sweet fruity aroma with a citrus edge. Pale hazy orange. Foamy white head. Medium bitter. Tart dry stone fruit. Big resinous woody streak. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat-soft carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Good stuff just not as sweet and fruity as the aroma suggested it would be.
