[33cl can from Beer52.] A pale straw coloured pour with a cloose creamy white head; lovely aroma of slightly underripe grapefruit; oily body with an immediate hit of bitter citrus flavours - grapefruit, lemon and lime; then some chewy malts; and a long sweetish citrusy finish. Really good.

330ml can: BB 29th Feb 2020. poured into a UK pint sleeve at home on 20th June 2019. Large white, billowing head, clear amber/golden body. Citrus lead to the aroma and taste, as you would expect from the hop list (Citra, Simcoe and Chinook). Malts definitely playing 'second fiddle' nose and flavour wise. Nice enough, but just another golden, citrusy brew that seem to be flooding the UK market at the moment.

Half Pint at Pursuit of Hoppiness pours a hazy lemon yellow with some sudsy, white head. Nose has lemon, grass, herbs, soap, a little dankness. Flavor suffers a bit from some very high carbonation, lemon seltzer, grass, herbs, light grist. Finishes medium bodied, high carb.
