Can from The Beerhive. Hazy deep golden body with few tiny flecks beneath an off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of grapefruit peel, melon rind and straw. Flavour of lemon, white bread and orange. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Clean and hoppy.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - cloudy orange to amber. Almost snow white head. Nose - orange plus zest. Taste - orange again, light sweat and onion. Light caramel. Palate - light bodied, creamy texture. Dry finish. Overall - much fruitier than regular Kowabunga. But, a bit oniony.

(Cask at Cock Tavern, Hackney, London, 22 Nov 2019) Amber colour with brief, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with citrus, apricots and toast. Malty, fruity taste with notes of citrus, toast, apricots and a balanced earthy bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Nice one.

Keg At Stockbridge Tap. It pours cloudy orangey - amber with a decent white head. The aroma is fresh, orangey, apricot, persimmon, doughy bread, grass, spice and hay. The taste is dry, bitter, stone fruits, persimmon, apricot, floury bread, chalky, touch of grass, bit of spice, herbal, chive and hay with a drying finish. Lighter end of medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Decent.
