On keg at the Stockbridge Tap. Appearance - golden with decent lacing. Nose - malt and a hint of orange. Taste - more orange, almost orange barley water. Palate - light to medium bodied with a crunchy texture. Dry crunchy finish. Overall - not so exciting considering the stature of the brewery.

Keg at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester as part of their Thornbridge Tap Takeover weekend. Light gold and just a little bit hazy. The tiniest layer of white head leaves lots of lacing. White grape, gooseberry and a sharp but surprisingly enticing vegetal note on the nose. Taste is balanced with a slight bittersweet character unchanging throughout the sip. Heavy carbonation with more white grape with a touch of celery on the finish. Not spectacular but certainly pleasant and slightly different from many pale ales..

Half pint, keg at Continental, Preston. Shared with Finn. A firmly white head leaving crocheted lacing on the glass. Next to clear warm golden body. Promising floral hops on the nose, peachy hints. Canned fruity taste with peaches. A refreshing fruit hop bitter ending. Well bodied. Good drinking to the burger food. (05.02.2019).

Cardinal 11.02.19: endelig er det Mi2 igjen, og vi er samlet for å undergå nødvendig symptombehandling. Under kyndig ledelse av paramedic Melberg starter vi programmessig med nyhetene på fat: denne var kveldens tredje øl, og desverre var det slutten av fatet. Lett uklar lys gylden med ok skum. Tropiske frukter/granskudd/grapefrukt i fin kombo. Dejlig bitterhed i afslutningen.

Small sample on tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger - end of keg. Pale golden colour, white head. Aroma and flavour of moderately citrussy / grapefruity and piney hops, also notes of tropical fruits. Light bodied, refreshing.

Keg half-pint in The George & Dragon, Acton on 29th Jan 2019. Light golden body, slight haze; wispy white head. Loads tropical fruit esters in the nose and flavours in the taste. Good citrus hop profile all round (if you like citrus leaning beers, which I don't).
