Aroma of sweet pale malts, soft sweet citrus fruits
Taste of citrus hops, soft tropical hops, sweet fruits, some grapefruit, this is nice
Palate - Medium body, soft sweet. Finish of grapefruit, nice zesty bitter tail, bit of spicy hop in there as well
Overall - Liked this. Much better than the iffy bottles I’ve tried from this brewery

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Very hazy gold. Compact, sticky, lasting, just off white head. Peach and strawberry. Lemon zest, and a little astringency, that I’m not entirely sure is intended. Taste has some tartness, too. Grassy, sharp bitterness, that makes for a zingy, refreshing mouthfeel. More of the same on the finish. Definitely a bit wrong, but still drinkable.

Sampled @ GBBF day 2. Hazy orange color, medium sized a bit soapy white head. Smell and taste malts, a light touch of fruitiness, decently bitter. Average body and carbonation.
