Can for 2 whole squid from Tesco. It pours very lightly hazy lemon yellow with a decent white head. The aroma is fresh, sweet, zingy lemon, white grape, melon and candy. The taste is firmly dry, straw, hay, champagne like character, soda water, tannin, melon, minerality, bit of alcohol and some grassy vibes with a pretty drying finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Has a big soda water character. Not sold on this one.

Can at home from Tesco, 6th January 19. Pours clear, light straw, but some ugly floating yeast. Aroma is fruity, citrus, apricot. Taste is citrus, bitter, pithy, dry, but not overly, really pleasant to drink. I had this one in the fridge for agers, as others seemed to be more appealing, it however really exceeded my expectations and it one of the best brut IPAs I've had so far.
