28th Jan 2019. Shrewsbury Beer Exchange Group meeting in Chez Sophie. This was the fourth of the collaboration set, we had all six during the session, splitting the cost between the five of us. Misty yellow body, white crown. Fruity throughout with a bitter citrus leaning.

Level 6 bottleshare. Hazy whitish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Fluffy pale malts, mild creamy sweetness. Pine. Little dry hop spice. Pleasant but light tropical fruits. Mellow citrus underneath. Fairly dry and spicy finish that also reveals a little pith. Decent but dry.
