On tap at Hughies. Pours a hazy orange gold with medium frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is citrus and floral. Medium body, lemon, pine, light bitterness, good.

Hazy tan. Medium head. The aroma has a fair bit of hop - floral, honeyish and that lemon shows through, too. Light body, lots of bitterness.

Bottle. Pale amber with a little haze. Large rather frothy white head. Sherbety Meyer lemon aroma with some crackers, a touch of strawberry and tropical fruit. The lemon is not quite as dominant in the taste but provides a little punch. There’s a decent pale ale with thinnish but adequate malt - cracker, just a little toffee. Dryish with medium high bitterness for the body. Citrus right through. Very refreshing. I am an absolute sucker for Meyer lemons, but this was pretty good for a New World Radler.

Enjoyed on tap at Crown Liquors in Chicago, IL while watching a hot dog eating competition. I didnt take tasting notes, but remember this beijg a nice very sessionable IPA with a heavy leaning on citrusy hops. Good stuff, nothing that stands out but overall enjoyable.

Bottle from GBBF 2016 and drunk at home. Deep amber colour clear, lasting off white head. Citrusy aroma, some lemon on the finish. Rather good session ipa I thought. The malt is enough, the hops are quite bitter but not over the top. The lemon finish is dry and lasts and lasts. It’s got a little toffee. Doesn’t really go anywhere, but it’s quite refreshing for first beer of the evening. It’s fine.

Bottle at BSF bar GBBF, Tuesday 9th August 2016 This was Geraints beer and it was a much better effort than my Fresh Squeezed IPA by the same brewery. Pours lemony gold, hoppy fruity nose, citrussy. It’s a decent refreshing beer. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8
