440ml Can - Hazy yellow with a foamy white head. Grain and some notes of citrus and herbs in the aroma. The taste has notes of citrus, stone fruits, vanilla and herbs, although the taste is very balanced so none of the aforementioned notes particularly stand out.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours lightly hazed yellow-gold with a creamy, white topping. Light-medium sweet flavour with a little grainy pale malt, cereal, semi-ripe citrus, low bitterness. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with more pale bread, grains, vague citrus. Drinkable stuff overall.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 02/05/24. Hazed golden orange with a decent just off white head. Nose is orange zest, grass, melon, tangerine, citric tinged straw. Taste comprises bitter orange, melon, grass, mandarin, soft malts, tangerine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with mellow light juice laden hop bitterness. Okay IPA ... lower end of this series for me.

Had this from can, Easter Sunday 31st March 2024 after a six and a quarter hour train journey from Inverness to York. I picked up online at Buxton webshop posted to and shared with dad, Easter Sunday 31st March 2024 after a six and a quarter hour train journey from Inverness and hour and a quarter from York. Hazy appearance, but less yolky yellow than the CF310, in fact a slight duller appearance. Again this is subtle on the aroma, a little meadow grass and wisp of wheatiness. A little confectionery in the taste, this pulls through a slight sweetness, lacks a little complexity of the CF310, some stone fruit. Good, actually I slightly prefer this.

23rd March 2024 Can. A light haze on this strawberry good beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Nose is pine and a touch of bubblegum, lime, way off in the distance. Smooth light pale malts do their job and largely keep out of the way of the CF374 hops. Cooling pine. Key lime, quite light and sweetish, twist of lemon in there. A little generic candy fruits on the back end makes me wonder if it's the yeast, as CF310 had some of the same things going on, but no berry shenanigans going on here. On the light, smooth and semi dry finish there are whispers of pear and apple and a the mildest dusting of hop spice. Very soft black pepper and mild bubblegum and banana in the aftertaste. Another intriguing brew, this is good, but so far, CF310 has a very slight edge.

Can. Buxton online. Hazed straw gold. Slim sticky messy white froth. Nose has clean malts. Hops come across slightly peppery. Bit of ripe peach. Tad on yer dank side. Taste has moderate creamy malt sweetness with moderate fruity estery bitterness. Decently easy drinking. Moderate bitter finish. Doesn’t pop like the first one and doesn’t seem in as good nick either, oddly.
