Can. Cloudwater online. I’d add a photo but you know, the site has turned to shit. Anyhow. Pale, amber gold. Light haze. Messy, thin, lasting, white head. Nose has peppery hop. Quite leafy, and a little herbal. Notes of ripe grapefruit and mandarin. Taste is a little leafy and herbal. Minimal sweetness. Gets oily and pithy. Light to medium body. Fine, crisp carbonation. A tad drying. Pithy, herbal bitterness to finish.

On tap at the Bermondsey tap room. Hazy gold colour lasting white head. Now that is a hoppy pale ale. Not dank. Just a lot of hops over a pale malt base. I would still like a bit more malt backbone. But it's pretty good. Bitter finish. Dry. Yes light sweat. OK.

Keg at the bermondsey tap room. A translucent golden orange coloured pour a lasting fine white head. Aroma is grassy citrus hop, rubber, dusty orange. Flavour is composed of light grains, little wheat and straw, spicy grassy citrus hop, little spicy wood in the finish. And a little chalk in the finish. Palate is grainy, grain husks, highish carbonation, crisp chalky finish. A bit disappointing. A fine beer sure, but a bit bland. Doesn't taste particularly Ddh, bit lagery in nature.
