4% on tap at Bungalow. It pours a cloudy honey gold with a solid head of foam. It has a soft grapefruit, citrus and bitter pine aroma. Quite full bodied for a 4% beer. The taste is pretty crazily bitter grapefruit pith, mouth puckering. Not balanced but good for hop heads. I liked the nose but the bitter taste was overdone for my taste...

Bottle sample at a tasting at Naama’s place. Thanks Naama. Clear deep golden. Herbal and spicy aroma with a lemony touch. Slightly sweetish flavor, herbal, with malt, a peppery touch, a citric note and a nice herbal bitter finish. Medium-bodied. Decent and refreshing.

Bottle from Good Beer. Fruity sansho nose, herbal with citrus and light malts. spicy, herbal flavor, sansho, pepper, citrus, light pale malts. Light, crisp body, good bitterness. Much improved from the version 4 years ago, still not really my thing, and a bit too much spice, but not bad.
