Can at home in Hackney - sourced from the back of the fridge. Pours hazy gold with a fluffy, white head. Light and easy going, nice pithy lemon and grapefruit, nips of grass, pale bread. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Balanced finish, pithy and somewhat dry. Good stuff.

Lovely session able hoppy stuff. Cloudy yellow and a fine head. Good intensity in the aroma. Medium light body and a pleasant mellow carbonation level. Easy to drink. Quite fruity. Also citric hoppy and pine in the flavor.

Can from CW online. It pours crazy cloudy golden with a medium white head. The aroma is fresh, green, grassy, floral, some juiciness and floury white bread. The taste is dry, bitter, pithy, floral, floury white bread, grass and some spice with a drying finish. Light+ body and fine, foamy carbonation. Lacks a bit of oomph, not as vibrant as their other small beers. OK, but underwhelming for CW.

Can. Beer Central, Sheffield. Soupy, dirty, pale gold. Film and ring of creamy, white head. Nose has decent fruit, with grapefruit and sliced peach, but it’s a bit heavy on the yeasty, bready notes to come across particularly bright. Taste is a little sweet and yeasty, with minimal, citrus bitterness. Light on the palate. Soft carbonation. Sweet yeast and a little hop spice to finish. Lacks the vibrancy of the other small beers.
