Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at Mother Kelly's, Well Street. Pours hazy orange-gold with a modest, foamy white head. The nose holds lightly tangy lemon, grapefruit, pine needles. Light-medium sweet flavour with more pithy citrus character, lemon rind, a little cat pee, white grape, mild rindy bitterness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, more pithy citrus, pissy hops, dry pale bread, some bitter rind, melon. Overall, solid.

Keg at LBA. It pours crazy cloudy milky yellow with a small white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, creamy, melon, pear, apple and doughy bread. The taste is dry, bitter, toasty grain, grassy, straw, melon, apple, pear, spice and powdery stuff. Light body and fine carbonation. Not bad.

Keg at HL1, 22/06/18. Hazed orange amber with a decent off white cap. Nose is caramel, orange peel, grains, straw, biscuit. Taste carries quite bit of citric bite, leafy bitterness, straw, light herb, caramel, strawberry shortbread. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok easy drinker but struggling to identify a bitter here! 3Keg at HL1, 22/06/18. Hazed orange golden with a decent off white cap. Nose is juicy citric peel, mango, melon, apricot jam, orange peel. Taste comprises orange pith, chalky minerals, straw, melon, toasted grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with balanced hop bitterness. Decent enough session gear for the paltry ABV if a touch too minerally.

Stubby 330ml bottle. Pours clear pink, thinning white ring. Aroma of cherry boiled sweets. Taste is crisp with subdued cherry, citrus, jam, fairly drying, a touch slick. Simplistic, lacks bite.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at Clapton Craft. Pours clear, pink-red with a soft, frothy white head. Muted berry aroma, some wheat, a hint of dried cherry. Light sweet flavour with relaxed tartness, some berry sweetness, a little cherry jam, salt, lemon. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Finishes with some semi-ripe berries, tangy cherry, more jammy aspect, a little citric bite, wheat bread. Overall, quite pleasant, if somewhat basic.
