Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up for reduced price at Waitrose. Pours perfectly clear copper with a foamy, white head. Pretty basic stuff, has some leafy hops, lightly toasted grains, hints of orange peel. Light bodied with average carbonation. Faint grassy bitterness in the finish, more grainy malts, suggestions of citrus. Not great but not the worst, either.

From keg at Ship Tavern, London, on tour to 22 southern counties with OGJ and EE 08.01.19. Clear golden. Fine, persistent dense white and heading. Decent aroma and taste of citrus, mango and tangarines. Perhaps a bit waterish mouthfeel. And very fizzy.

Halvpint fra fat på AllyPally, første dag i London nov-18: klar gylden med ok skum. Citrusfrukter i behagelig kombinasjon med tropiske frukter og karamell. Lett fruktig bitterhed i afslutningen uten å være minneverdig, ut over anledningen.
