Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours lightly clouded gold with a soft, frothy white head. Lightly sweet, super pillowy, lighty minerality, bright lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, mellow rindy bitterness. Light bodied, pillowy, with fine carbonation. Great balance in the finish, a hint of pine, rounded citrus rind bitterness, more citrus juice character too. Outstanding.

Bottle. Cotteridge. A tad long in the tooth, having been bottled nearly 10 weeks ago. Hazed gold. A few floaters. Kernel swede. Nose suggests a way fresher beer, with notes of watermelon. Pineapple slices. Some ripe pear. Background of dry, bready grain. Taste is a little sweet, first off, with some moderate, estery bitterness. Medium body, with low carbonation. A little drying. Finish has a light, estery bitterness.

Bottle from the brewery in Bermondsey and drunk at home. Slight haze dirty gold colour lasting off white head. Oranges, tangerines, mangoes, pink grapefruit aroma, quite a pungent fruity aroma. Lovely fruit. Enough pale malt to carry the hops. Some bitterness on the finish. Rather a nice pale ale with plenty of citrus and tropical fruit.

Bottle shared by Jack, thanks! Pours a hazy deep gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a combination of earthy citrus and grass with some light grains underlying. Flavor has sweet and earthy citrus with light grass and a touch of light grain backing.

Keg at the old fountain. A light hazed golden yellow coloured pour with a a sticky white head. Aroma is pale bready malts, mellow tropical, white grape, lychee with grassy citrus hop notes. Flavour is composed of semi sweet wet base bready malts, spicy citrus, light salty, grassy hop finish. Palate is bready, moderate carbonation, rounded. Well rounded balanced pale ale.

Old Fountain. Keg. Light haze on this paleish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, slightly soft, reasonable fine carbonation. Sweetish light malts. Trace of bitterness befoe some light but juicy citric hop kicks in. Orange and mild orange peel. Little tangerine. Trace of tropical fruits. Pine and mild hop spice on the light finish and yellow grapefruit on the last gasp. Nice layered pale ale. Could sink a few pints of this.
