On cask at the Blue Blazer, Edinburgh. Appearance - golden with a slight haze and a decent head. Nose - resin, apple skin and grapes. Taste - really metallic and like we’re all chewing on kale. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet crunchy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - oh boy there’s a serious green note thing going on - a bit cabbage chewing to be honest.

Golden ale, white head. Really tangy sweet flavour initially which kind of dominates everything else and spoils it for me.

Bottle from Bottle Baron. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of yeast, metal and apricot. Flavour of green banana, lemon and bread. Thin body with a watery mouthfeel. Light fizz. Straightforward and a bit thin. Might be better suited to cask.
