330ml can. Pours gold, light mist, medium white head. Aroma assorted tropical rind, citric leanings, grassy, malt. Taste continues along similar lines, with strong grapefruit and pithy moments. Generally seems a bit lost and a little sloppy.

Can split at CBC Holborn, picked up online, 29/08/18. Lightly hazed golden orange with a decent off white cap. Nose is grassy, bitter orange, light plastic, straw, lemon drizzle. Taste comprises orange pith, grass, toasted grains, melon, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with lightly astringent hop bitterness. Mediocre stuff and comes across tired.

Can shared in London - cheers to Cloin. Pours clear gold with a frothy white head. Not the best, some grassy hops, husky pale grains, stare. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Soft resin in the finish, more grassy bitterness. Eh.
