440ml can from brewery at 4.5%. Very slight hazy gold, small white head. Aroma of citra hops evident with lemon, lime and herb notes, light grassy note. Taste of light pale malts, citrus, grapefruit, herbs, decent moderate long bitter with a chewy citrus finish. Light body but it coats the palate and is not watery, quite dry. Decent session IPA

Gravity poured half-pint at the 5th Shifnal Beer Festival on 18th Oct 2019. Cloudy orange body, white head. Lemon/grapefruit aroma and taste, too citrusy for my taste. Scored objectively.

Cask, half-pint at Drink? Nitro white head blanketing the glass. Hazy orange-gold body. Moderate lemony hops on the nose. Flavoured with citrus such as lemon and grapefruit. Mid-dry fruit hoppy bitterness to the ending. Refreshing with good session qualities. (Hebden Bridge 04.07.2018).

Tap @Luppolo Station in Rome. Dark golden going amber hazy color, off-white medium foam lowering relatively quick and leaving drafts. Nose is a bit (amber) malty, resin and citric. Mouth is sharply bitter, consistent, bodied, chicory finish. Tasty.
