Can at home in Hackney - sourced from the Bermondsey taproom. Pours clear honey-gold with a frothy, white head. Really nice stuff, leans towards the West Coast in terms of styling, with some nice oily pine, ripe citrus, mango, melon, mild piney bitterness. Full bodied, lightly chewy, with fine carbonation. Lightly warming finish, resinous and sticky, with sugary citrus, papaya, soft bitterness. With a bit more bitterness to balance out the sugars this would be great. As it stands, it is quite good.

Can from Drinkmonger. Hazy golden/amber body with a thin off-white head. Lively carbonation. Aroma of orange and Jelly Babies. Flavour of mandarin and candied orange with a peppery finish. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. Decent but a touch too sweet for me.

Can. Light haze on this gold beer, tiny pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Silky malts, a decent sweetness. Slightly resinous hops. Soft pine. A light minerally crisp ripe citrus follows along with the softest barely there hop skunk. Smooth and semi dry finish. Remarkably smooth and pretty hoppy dipa, but almost free of any hop fruits. Curious but drinkable.
