330ml bottle @ Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours clear gold with thin, receding white head. Tastes like it’s been pulled straight from a cask. Smooth, quaffable blonde with fresh citrus and a nice light sweetness.

(Cask at Cask Pub & Kitchen, Pimlico, London, 30 Nov 2014) Pale golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of citrus, grass, peaches and fruit salad. Fruity, malty taste with citrus, grass, peaches, soft malt and floral hops in a finish with a balanced bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Fresh and tasty, highly drinkable. Quite nice.

Craft Islington. Cask. Almost clear paleish gold beer, few pale cream colour bubbles. Palate is light and semi dry. Mild fine carbonation. Light dry pale malts, a whisper of grain. Little apple. Tangy hops. Semi dry finish. Modest bitter linger. It’s a bit better than it sounds and is at least drinkable despite the apple.

Bottle 330ml ( AbM) Hazy orange color, small off-white head, lace. Aroma has citrus, watermelon, fruity yeastyness. Light-bodied. Flavor has evident citrus from Citra. A bit messy as beer has quite a lot of yeast. Watery and a bit too simple overall.
