Can picked up from Beyond Beer webshop Hamburg. Had this Sunday 25th June 2023 listening to Glastonbury coverage on 6Music. Cooking Slipper Burgers later. Pours light mid gold with a white head, mostly clear, very refreshing, nice crispness, a little back up of sweet malt, soft mouthfeel, fruity tang, a little peachy, dry finish. Good.

Draught at TLVCBF, clear yellow with greenish notes,herbal anda bit stinky onion aroma, flavor of onion and wood, medium and a bit coarse. Harsh, not the best of the series.

Can. Bright clear pale gold beer, small white head. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin malts but providing enough sweetness. Harlequin hops bring a little skunk, which I expected, but nowhere near as much as in a handful of other Harlequin beers I've had. Light crisp pine. Yes there is some tropical fruits here, I get the pineapple and a little passion fruit but it's a pretty light touch. Crisp finish. Very drinkable but once again, for the most releases in this series, seems like Thornbridge are cutting back on the hop bill.

Foamy white head stayed on a still clear golden coloured body. Bubble gum, malt & weed aroma. Medium bodied, smooth & creamy with a sharp cloying back. Pine, weed, malt, medicinal & citrus tastes with with a long finish bitter. Good.

440ml can from Thornbridge Beer Club - Clear golden body, bit of a rocky white top. Nose, as expected, spruce, sweetish malt, bit of citrussy hop. Taste has a florally melon and conference pear thing going on, with a pleasantly just off-sweet finish. Nice.

Can. Thornbridge subscription box. Clear pale gold. Thick white suds. Nice sweet lemon hop. Clean malts. Little bit of an ice cream vibe. Hint of nettle leaf. Taste is well balanced with a clean easy drinking character. Brisk carbonation. Moderate bitterness to finish. Vibrant pale. Could smash.
