Can. Near clear paleish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied pale malts, a light sweetness that interacts with a fair amount of esters. Mild floral citrus, slightly sweet. A light and semi dry finish. Quite Belgian, which I suppose was the point. More hops would have taken this a long way for me.

Aroma of orange zest, peaches and tropical fruits, hints of yeast and mild spices.

Can shared. Hazy light golden. Super dank weedy hops, huge resin, floral, wheat, coriander, Belgian yeast, orange zest, cloves. Medium sweet and quite bitter. Solid medium bodied. Like a hoppy witbier more than a white IPA. Tasty.

Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, grapefruit, lemon peel, clove, hay, wheat and a balanced citric bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Fresh and tasty. Nice one.

4/2/2025. Draft third at North Bar, Leeds. Pours hazy/cloudy yellow gold with a small frothy white head. Aroma is wheaty, bubblegum, stewed banana, clove, yeast, rubbery notes. Medium sweetness, moderate but developing bitterness with a bite to finish. Medium body, smooth, average carbonation. This third really grew on me.
