Keg at CBC Clerks - London. Pours clear gold with a dense, creamy topping. The nose has citric hops, grainy pale malts, lemon rind. Light-medium sweet with nice pithy grapefruit, grassy and rindy bitterness, some floral perfume, melon, pale bread. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, with noes of pale grains, citrus peel, more lemon and grapefruit. Not bad.

2015 version at the Hop Bunker, Cardiff, 17/9/2015. Golden in colour with a frothy, off-white, head. Aromas of pineapple and mango with a touch of grassy hop. Flavour was sweet, with more sticky fruit and a hint of caramel, leading to a dryish finish. Fine.

Cask stillage at the Birmingham CAMRA festival 2014. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a bubbly white head. The aroma is nettle hop. The flavour is strong bitter with a big crisp refreshing nettle hop bitter palate. Light bodied with soft carbonation. I hope they retrieved the hop bucket that clearly fell into the the mash!
