330ml can. Murky, yellow-ish golden colour with average, frothy, diminishing, white head. Earthy, herbal-tart-ish aroma, hints of balm, dandelion, vinegar, a sulphureous touch of matches, hints of potting soil, a fruity touch of quince, rotten vegetable tartness. Taste is dry, moderately tart, citrusy, notes of lemon juice, minimally earthy, grassy basis, a rather wide spectrum of unspecific fruitiness, threefold hints of tartness due to unripe fruit, citrus fruit, and overripe fruit, dandelion overtones, lactic sauerkraut interludes as well. Refreshing but not flattering.

Bottle. Curious Hop, Otley. 5.7% boost. Cloudy orange. Open, bubbly, lasting, dirty white head. Juicy citra. Lots of orange and lime. Grainy malts. Taste is dry. Some pithy bitterness. Lightly sour. Punchy, lively palate. The juiciness fades throughout, and by the finish is mostly dry, and light tart. A bit too dry, for me, maybe.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Hazy bronze body with a loose white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Arome of freshly squeezed lemon, straw and orange juice. Flavour of lime juice, tonic water, earth and grapefruit. Thin to medium body with a spritzy texture. Fizzy. A bright, zingy beer.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from the Merchants of Beer. Opens with a loud hiss. Pours mostly clear gold with a large, frothy white head. Vibrant tangy citrus fruits in the nose, some pine, lime zest, lemon rind. Light sweet flavor with mellow acidity, more lemon, some tangerine, light grassy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation and massaging texture. Clean and tart on the finish, with further lemony tartness, subtle funk, grass, pine needles. Very nice, tart and refreshing. Quite a well made beer.

Bottle from BeerMerchants. It pours hazy orange with a decent white head. The nose is soft, juicy, orange, tangerine, mango, funk and lemon drizzle cake. The taste is crisp, tart, juicy, orange, tangerine, lemon, fruit punch, mild acidity, sherbet, earthy and damp wood with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Very juicy and quaffable. I am a fan.
