Brewed with summit columbus and chinook hops it packs a big bitterness but balanced with the malt and hop character.

Bottle split at Happy New Years L42 Shim Sham, thanks to the Wingmane, 12/01/17. Clear golden blonde with a decent off white cap. Nose is pale malts, straw, light citric sherbets, melon. Taste comprises earthy hops, biscuit, caramel, melon, lemon rind. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. A touch whelming and falls short of the style marker for me.

T42 Bottleshare. Thanks to Wingman. Almost clear gold beer, patchy pale cream colour head. Palate is light, dry and has modest fine carbonation. Smooth dry pale malts, mildly sweet. Pine and a little citrus peel hops. Citrus peel gets progressively more bitter through the dry finish and the bitterness lingers on. Hoppy if somewhat harsh but overdry.

Bottle shared in London - cheers. Pours very pale yellow with a frothy white head. The nose has some pithy lemon, wheat, grapefruit. Light sweet flavour with more lemon and grapefruit, light bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Good balance to finish, some crisp pale malts, drew, more pithy citrus. Good one.

Cask at the Pup and Duckling, Solihull. The first cask they ever produced of this beer and possibly the only one ever! Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is sweet fruity malt, light woody hop. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter with a big woody hop liquorice bitter light fruit palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
