12/6/2019. Bottle from Tesco, Gloucester. Pours clear golden with a fluffy white head. Aroma of citrus, hops, lime, passion fruit, malt, flowers and grass. Medium sweetness and bitterness. Moderate body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Nice bitterness to finish. Quite drinkable. Also 10/1/2026. Can from the brewery. See photo.

[Cask at the festival at the Bull, Barkham.] A pale straw pour with a slight haze and a ring of white head; sweet floral aroma; floral and dry in the mouth with some orange juice; and a sweet marmalade finish.

500ml bottle. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a massive fizzy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, corn, light woody hop. The flavour is light bitter with a light watery light citrus, fake sugar, light hop bitter palate. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Pretty awful. Light, watery and devoid of flavour.

2nd Feb 2018, cask pint in the Bowling Green, Lichfield. Clear light Amber body, white blanket of foam on top. Fruity aroma and taste, malts in the background, yet there's a light sweetness throughout from those malty molasses. Decent.
