Very hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Nose of herby minty skunk! Palate is airy and semi dry, good fine crispness. Very light malts, lightly sweet. The citra hop taste quite green here, grassy skunky green but there is a light juicy orange. Touches of hop spice and pine before a dry crispy finish. Goes down easy.

Bottle from Freshfields, Croydon. It pours clear pale gold with a thick white head. The aroma is fresh, herbal, cracker, straw, spice, lemongrass and white bread. The taste is crisp, clean, bitter, plenty of peppery juniper, straw, cracker, grassy, lemon/grapefruit peel and lemongrass with a dry finish. Light - medium body and moderate carbonation. Crisp and clean. Well - crafted stuff.

Craft Islington bottleshare. Thanks to Leighton. Lightly hazy amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry. Modest fine carbonation. Soft dry malts, mildly sweet, some cream. Fruity tang into spicy floralness. More fruity tang before a spicy dry finish. Tasty enough.

Bottlshare at Mr Smith’s pad. Thanks to Fergus and Leighton. Hazy gold beer, thin pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, good fine carbonation, delivers the flavours beautifully. A most pleasant creamy sweetness from the pale malts. Lovely tropical fruity hop - mango and peach dominant. Piney hop spice in to lesser citrus fruits. Smooth semi dry finish. Spicy hop lingers on. Rather splendid!

Keg @ Piccadilly Tap, Manchester. Hazy pale golden with a thick bubbly head. Has a good weiss nose with banana and other tropical fruit here. The latter is more dominant in its taste, and is slightly more ale-like, but is still a fine effort.
