Keg draught from Bison Craft Beer (Hove). Light gold and incredibly hazy with a small white head and generous lacing. Pink grapefruit dominates the aroma with lighter notes of lemon and satsuma. Taste is sweeter than I expected but it is lush as opposed to sickly. Sugared grapefruit and fresh pineapple juice make way to a light but dogged bitterness which dominates the long finish. Thick body, soft to medium carbonation. Amazing stuff.

Keg draught at the Prince Albert, Brighton. Light gold, almost straw, hazy with an uneven white head. Sweet lemon drops and orange peel alongside a marshmallowy malt in the aroma. It tastes sweet, but not quite as sweet as the aroma suggests: there's a pleasant little bitterness that comes into play after the initial sip. St Clements and vanilla wafer. Short finish with lemon in the aftertaste. Very slight body with decent carbonation. Good.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, dank hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a fresh, grassy dank weedy, mineral, spicy hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Dank and bitter. Nice to see something that’s not sweet and fruity.
