Bottle. Strong lemon, herbal hop notes, some yeast. Taste is dominating bitter lemon, leading to bitter wheat, some banana notes, and then a lemon and apricot finish. The bergamot lemon dominates the other flavours, and while refreshing lacks subtlety and depth. Edit: Drinking again on the second year, I found it more balanced, not sure if it was me or the beer that changed, but it was a refreshing change of pace mid session.

(Draught at The Rake, Borough, London, 25 Apr 2015) Hazy yellow colour with frothy, white head. Malty, wheaty nose with notes of bread, citrus and hints of soap. Malty taste with white bread, citrus, lime and a touch of salt. Medium body, quite dry, with a gentle grassy bitterness. Interesting and quite refreshing. Enjoyable.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Hazy, orange gold. Sudsy, just off white head. Bready. Yeasty. Floral. Citrus hop. Lemon rind. Taste is floral, juicy sweet, quickly turning pretty full on, zesty, pithy bitter. Full body. Mouth filling bitterness. Finishes long, fruity, floral bitter. Super tasty. Maybe a bit too fizzy.

On tap (tried but didn’t rate at time) and also bottle from Cloudwater Brewery and tap Units 7-8 Picadilly Trading Estate, Manchester, Saturday 18th April 2015 bottle consumed at home Thursday 30th April 2015 Jolly good session IPA or hoppy golden, call it what you will. Furiously hoppy, strength is quite misleading, in fact the body suggests that this is an altogether bigger and stronger beer. Dry finish, pithy citrus rasps across the tongue. Lovely citrus, lemony and grapefruit combine the latter more dominant, really like this. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

Mother Kelly’s. Keg. Lightly hazy gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and mildly dry Good fine carbonation. Light malts, vague creamy sweetness. Modest citrus and mild florlaness. Orange peel and grapefruit peel develop before a semi dry finish. Not getting any savoury Gose character here, but it’s fine.
