Craft Clerkenwell. Bottle tasting. Thanks to Leighton. Hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and a little dry. Mild fine carbonation. Light airy malts. Hops are mildly floral and then a Calypso like apple - pear flavour. Very light citrus. Light finish. Interesting and tasty.

Bottle shared in London - picked up in Waterbury. Pours lightly hazy gold with a frothy white head. The nose has lots of passionfruit, melon, tangerine. Medium sweet flavor, with more passionfruit, pineapple, pear, pale bread. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. More interesting fruity hop character on the finish, melon, peach, a bit of sweat and dank citrus. Solid.
