Cask at the Hanging Bat. Pours clear golden with a thick white head. Aromas of passion fruit, lime peel. Faint spice. Taste is more of the same. Tropical fruit, pithy citrus. Clean, zingy finish.

Keg at the Hope. It pours cloudy bright orange with a medium white head. The aroma is fresh, bready, floral, pithy citrus, grapefruit, hay and light spice. The taste is crisp, bitter, pithy, zesty citrus, peppery spice, straw, grass, floral and light soap with a dry, pithy finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Not quite as bright as hoped.

On cask at The Curfew in Berwick upon Tweed - clear yellow gold body diminishing white head. Nose is citrus with a marmalade hint. Taste is a bittersweet hoppy citrus again. Not bad.

Cask-conditioned at the Gryphon, Bristol 4/3/2016. Slightly hazy gold, with a decent, white, head. Sharp citrus fruits, solid malts, some grassy hops and a dryish finish. Good.

From the mini fest menu at Flower Pot, gravity, half pint. Next to clear amber coloured body. Only a few bubbles at the surface. Floral hops with a citric touch on the nose. The taste profile contains moments of earthy malts, leafy hops and fresh citrus. Fruity bitterness to the ending. Medium bodied. Likable (Derby 21.02.2015).
