Cask handpull at Nelson Arms Tonbridge . Clear gold colour lasting white head. Citrus aroma. It's an interesting beer. .I guess how Dark Star APA used to taste. Definitely distinctive. Good grapefruit lemon. Slightly earthy. Cascade hops I guess. Good hoppy dry bitter finish cracking condition. Loved it.

Cask at the Evening Star, Brighton on 28th August 2023. Clear gold with shallow white foam and spot lacing. Tangy citrus and tropical fruits in aroma. Zesty citrus peel and bitterness in-mouth, and a bitter finish as fruity liquid drains off. Light bodied with a smooth mouthfeel.
