Pint on tap at the Wings Club, Cleveleys. Pale amber beer with thin white head. Sweet lemon nose, some grass. Light body. Crisp and fresh taste. Finish is earthy, dank, herbal with late notes of pineapple and malt. Bitter, sweet, grassy, it's all going on. Interesting USA/UK hybrid.

Hazed golden color with a fine thick off white head. Good lacing. Looks nice. Fine pleasant intensity in the aroma. Good hoppy feeling. Medium body and a smooth carbonation level. Ok balanced bitterness versus sweetness. Citric, fruity, malty and some pine in the flavor. Nice tasty session able cask beer.

Clear yellow beer, thin white head. Light citrus aroma. Taste is light citrus, some bitter hop, a touch sickly in the aftertaste.

Cask-conditioned at the Glue Pot, Swindon 28/10/2016. Golden in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Some tropical fruits, biscuity malts and a touch of grassy hop before a dryish finish. Good.
