18/2/2022. Can sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers. Pours clear golden with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma of citrus, grapefruit, flowers, pepper, leaves, herbs. Moderate sweetness and bitterness with a light tart edge. Moderate body, slightly oily, quite fizzy.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - golden with a light haze and a lively, big, snow white head. Nose - lemon, herbs, grapefruit pith and a slight yoghurt edge. Taste - lemon, herb, grapefruit, dirty earthy funk note up through the middle. Palate - light to medium bodied, sour, but not necessarily what the brewer intended, I'd like to say. Tangy, sour but not in a pleasant way on the finish. Overall - not sure about this to be honest. Weird lactic funk happening as mentioned by some of the previous reviewers. Not what the brewer intended in my opinion.

Bottleshare at Lancaster Gate. Thanks to Paul. Hazy yellow - gold beer, bubbly pale cream colour head. Thin dry palate, good fine carbonation. Weird stuff - sherbet, lemon that gets slightly acid, rosemary. Light finish. I like NA’s mad concoctions but this one is jarring.

Bottle at Bespin, thanks to Lando, 09/05/16. Hazed pale golden with a decent white head. Nose is limeade, light herbals, lemon rind, straw, faint white pepper, light puke. Taste comprises lime marmalade, citric tinged straw, faint rosemary, straw, light acidic notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, zingy citric close with a light puckering. Pretty basic sour but drinkable in small doses.

Bottle shared at Leighton’s place 09/05/2016. Many thanks to paul for this one. A translucent yellow straw coloured pour with a lasting white froth. Aroma is big herbal rosemary savory notes, salty, pithy grapefruit citrus. Flavour is composed of really tart, puckering lemon juice, bitter grapefruit, wheaty, pith. Palate is super sour, uber dry in the finish, critic avid. Herbal notes linger. A little out of balance but interesting enough.

Bottle from Beer Moth. It pours hazy bright gold with a thick, foamy white head. The aroma is big herbal vibe upfront, grassy, green, rosemary, leaves, meaty, smoked bbq vibe and roast chicken crisps! The aroma is crisp, tart mouth - pucker, sour grapefruit, bracing acidity, rosemary, grass and lemon sherbet with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. An odd beer for sure. There is a proper disconnect between aroma and taste, but fun to try.
