Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Fergus. Pours lightly unclear yellow with a creamy, white head. The aroma holds lemon peel, dried herbs, sweat, lemon, pickle juice. Light sweet flavour with some chalky lemon candies, moderate acidity, hay, grapefruit. Light bodied with delicate, spritzy carbonation. Pretty clean on the finish, with more lemony acidity, dried wheat, sweat. Fun stuff.

Keg at Casc. It pours cloudy pale gold with a quickly dissipating white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, tart, tangy, herbal, straw, grass, stone fruits and sherbet. The taste is crisp, tart, fresh, fragrant, herbal, grass, lemongrass, zingy, lime, straw, minerals and some lactic tang with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, massaging carbonation. Subtle, yet interesting. Rather quaffable and refreshing.

Cask at the Euston Tap, East Lodge, 11/05/17. Lightly hazed pale yellow with a cheery white head. Nose is lemon rinds, pissy straw, hedgerow, light spice, damp hay. Taste comprises bitter citric shreds, light funk, damp cloth, wood must, herbal tones, vanilla, green nettle, light piss, lemon curd, green berry jizz, apple core.
