Growler fill from the brewery online shop. Pours hazy yellow with a thin white head. Aromas of guava and lime, as you'd expect. Taste is more of the same. Light sweet finish. Additives!

Can from the Falcon (JDW), Wycombe. Lightly hazed deep gold with a white head and a middling fizz. Light notes of apricot and sweet blueberry set against a lightly bitter, crispish finish. Very mild, gentle flavours though. Easy-drinking, pleasant enough but entirely forgettable.
