Cask at Swan, Stone. Pours golden yellow with minimal foamy almost white head and good lacing. Thereโs malts and leon rind in the aroma. In the mouth there is a brief burst of sweetness before it becomes sharp and juicy. Plenty of citrus and some grains in the flavour with some floral hops coming through later on. Finish is quite btter. Not at all bad but a bit thin and lacking in body.

30/10/2021. Can shared with ITFCfan and ITFCDan. Bought direct from the brewery. Pours slightly hazy pale gold with a frothy white head. Aroma is pithy, citrus, grapefruit, husky, stewed veg, touch earthy/herbal. Moderate sweetness and light bitterness. Moderate body, chalky texture, average carbonation. Not one of my favourites from this brewery.

Can from the brewery online shop. Appearance - big pop of CO2 on opening then a big lively head which eventually gives way somewhat to a hazy golden body. Nose - light orange, muesli and a bit grainy. Taste - yeah, very grainy unfortunately. Muesli again including hazelnut. Palate - light bodied and very malty middle and finish. Overall - so so.
