Hazy pale gold with a bubbly / frothy white head and cereal grain and a touch of fruit on the nose. Fresh and fizzy, soft tangerine and light malt flavour, with a touch of dry bitterness.

On tap in the company of Dad, Monday 13th October after a couple of hours in Stockport with Keef Mullin and Carl. Pours clear gold with a white head. Lightly citrussy, easy drinking and very uncomplicated session IPA, fine but not a patch on the Black Raven that Dad's drinking.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A hazy pale straw coloured pour with a fast fading white head; light tropical fruit aroma; quite thin with a tropical fruit taste; and a tart finish.

Small, bubbly head, clear, very light yellow, straw-colored. Mild citrus aroma, juicy lemon, and a slight lemony bitterness. Disappointing krush hop display.
