330ml bottle. Hazy, orangey golden colour with average to huge, frothy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Weak, fruity hoppy aroma, hints of quince, a touch of strawberry, waxy overtonbes. Taste is slightly strawy and fruity, hints of strawberry and quince; quite watery.

Bottle at Tapping the Admiral, Camden Town. Bright gold, low visible carbonation. No head. Light pineapple and white grape aroma. Taste is more engaging with a fruity hoppy bitterness. Long bitter finish. Nicely carbonated. Decent.

Keg at Cronx Bar. It pours hazy orange with a small bubbly white head. The aroma is soft, fresh, orange, tangerine, apricot, piss and muffin. The taste is pretty bitter upfront, pithy orange, kumquat, tangerine rind, pissy hops, spice, straw, mild astringency with a drying finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Could be done with a bit more carbonation perhaps, but overall it’s not bad.

Not my cup of tea as the wheat imparted an odd flavour and texture to the beer that I really didn’t enjoy.

Bottle from the London Food Centre, Holborn. Pours slight hazy amber colour with an initially large off-white head, diminishing to a long-lasting 2-3mm. Aroma is moderately hopped, nice level of citrus, touch of caramel. Light sweetness, medium to heavy bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, slightly above average carbonation. Finish is bitter, with touch of citrus/sour.

Pours a slightly hazy orange golden color, topped with a big, foamy white head, pretty lasting. A bit grassy with more noticeable lemong rass, citrusy. Quite bittery start, hrbal feel as well in the lasting aftertaste. SLight lemony touch. Medium light body.

330ml Bottle - Amber with a small head. Pine, toffee, grapefruit and peach in the aroma. Tangy, hoppy and slightly earthy taste with grapefruit, peach and biscuity malt standing out.
