330ml can from Powderkeg. Gluten Free. Golden colour, white foamy head leaving some lacing and aroma of floral citrusy hoppy. Taste is malt, caramel, biscuit with some tangy citrusy hop bitterness. Light bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Quite OK

Bottle from local ASDA There’s a vague hoppiness in the nose, but nothing much. Pours a golden yellow with a transient white head. There’s traditional hoppiness in the mouth too, at first. But then other hop flavours start coming in, mango, oranges and kiwi fruit. Not sure whether I appreciate this feature or not – my opinion changes with each mouthful ! Finish is pretty bitter and astrigent. Not a bad beer, but not really my cup of tea,

Keg at Albert Inn, Totnes. Floral citrus aroma. Light gold. Foamy white head. Initial sweet edged citrus sour. Then it gains quinine bitterness with a hint of spice. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Dries-the-mouth-out astringent finish. Enjoyable.

330ml bottle from Hops and Crafts, Exeter; BB Mar 2019. Drank on 14th July 2018 at my brothers place down in Devon. Clear golden pour, white crown that lasted. Caramel aroma and initial taste, sweetness calms down a little and fruity flavours begin to arrive mid-sip followed by a dry bitterness in the finish. Having looked at the hop varieties used (according to the bottle label), I am surprised there isn't more of a citrus leaning.

Bottle from ASDA, Halifax. Deeper golden with a small head. Has a lovely pale ale aroma with a hint of fruit here and in its taste, but more caramels.
