Can at home in Havkney - sourced from Clapton Craft. Pours totally clear yellow-gold, edges cent, with a foamy, pure white head. Dry lemon rind in the nose, crispy pale grains, hay. Lightly sweet, with mellow grassy bitterness, more citrus rind, pithy grapefruit, biscuits. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Somewhat drying in the finish, quite bitter, with lots of grass, a little flinty minerality, pale grain husk, lemon peel. Not bad overall.

Can from Valhalla’s Goat. Hazy pale golden body with a medium off-white head. Lively carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of hay, apricot and pear. Flavour of green pepper, bitter hops, lemon pith and earth. Thin body with a watery texture. Light fizz. Very bitter and tangy - not exactly easy going. Just ok.

Cask-conditioned at the Yard, Bristol 16/2/2015. Pale gold with a thin, white, head. Big, hop character throughout, with plenty of grapefruit and pineapples, some crisp mlats and a dry finish. Very good.

Hazy gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and fairly dry. Modest fine carbonation. Light dry pale malts. Mild floral things. Little citric peel bitterness. Floralness turns bitter before a thin dry finish. A bit dry but reasonably hoppy.
