375ml can, via Beer52. Very pale straw coloured beer, slight haze to the pour, white head. Citrus lead in both the nose and taste, refreshing enough, but not exciting or different from so many other such beers.

Can from Beer 52. Pours a hazy VERY pale straw colour with a slight greenish tinge, a white head and some lacing. A restrained nose of pine and some citrus. Initial mouthfeel is general hop flavour, citrus comes along later with a juiciness that lasts until the hoppy finish kicks in. Reasonable, but a bit bland.

(Can) Pours hazy golden with small loose white head. Pleasant aroma of pine with citrus notes. Light body with rather fizzy carbonation. Taste starts with a nice citrus tang. The mid palate is a bit thin and watery. There’s some pleasant but very restrained bitterness in the finish. Simple, not very interesting but very drinkable.

375ml can into shaker. Pale amber beer, slight haze. large frothy head. A few random tiny bubbles rise up. Some lacing. Nose is woody and floral. Light body, easy drinking. Lightly bitter with subtle dry finish of lemon and earthy hops. Slammable, not too complex.

Can at Slow Beer, Richmond. Poured a hazy straw colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is malt, light grassy citrus hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a crisp fresh light dry malt, light peppermint woody hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

Can. Very pale gold, slightly hazy with a white head. Aroma of herbal lemon, honeydew melon, passionfruit, gooseberries, pine. Very light bodied. Hop dominated (mostly, but not only Citra at a guess), but there’s just a hint of biscuit underneath to stop it from being raspy hop water. Dryish with a dry and moderate to highly bitter finish. Just a little austere for my taste but good.

Can sample at a tasting at troubles’ place. Thanks troubles. Hazy yellow. Nice fruity hops, "green", a bit of graininess, quite dry, moderately bitter. Good and refreshing.

Pours gold with a large lasting head.Nose shows passion fruit, lychee, mango, tangerine, peach and pine along with some fruit confectionery notes and clean malt.Flavours include more tropical fruit, lovely cookie-dough malt notes and some resinous pine.Delicious stuff, although a large part of that is probably because its so fresh.
