From a 330ml bottle on 14/5/2017. Pours a cloudy medium golden with a medium white head. Has a very distinct sharp citrus nose - lemon, lime grapefruit. All of these present strongly in the flavour, along with lemongrass and sea salt. the bitterness is big, puckering, tart and grapefruity. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Not without some charm, but could use a touch more subtlety.

330ml can from Porters Liquor, Bexley. Hazy yellow-golden amber colour, creamy white foam head leaving lacing and aroma of tropical fruit & citrus hoppy. Taste is sour, grainy, malt, citric lemon rind, fruity, with some funky notes and hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tart finish. Quite drinkable.

[10/16] Can. Hazy straw-coloured with an inch of white head. Light dough, sherbet, grapefruit zest, pepper. Hard to say what’s ester and what’s hop. Quite soft texture, medium high carbonation. Sweet dough, apricots, then mixed citrus and a fair bit of pepper. Only dryish at the end but quite bitter. Guzzleable with some intrigue. Will go well. [3.6] [12/16] Had a few of these, now another 6 pack from what is presumably a new batch. More floral, less citrusy. Bitterness seems a fair bit lower and the less than completely dry finish is more of an issue. Leaving the score as is for now, but less my sort of thing.[2/17] Another batch, I guess. This time more just ripe nectarine and pineapple. Finish is rather more decisive. Nice. If they can do good but a little different every time that’d be cool. I’m not quite sold that they can. Interesting that this has only 3 raters on RateBeer so far given that it’s clearly being hoovered up as soon as it arrives.
