Euston Tap. Keg. Hazy pale gold beer, tidy white head. Palate is light and minerally crisp. Light malts. Dry floralness. A pinch of spice. Good floral lemon Sorachi. Whisper of bitterish esters. Dry and minerally crisp finish. Not bad, just a little thin.

Poured from keg at Junkyard, half-pint shared with Finn. Filmy layer to an apricot coloured body. Laces well. Succulent fruit hoppy aromas. Orange fruity flavours alongside moments of juicy malts, slightly jam-like impression. Soft in the mouth. Tasty with session qualities (Saturday pub crawl in Nottingham 20.02 2016).

Keg @ Victorian Craft Beer Café, Halifax. The lime provides a citrus fruitiness with its sourness mildish and palatable, with the beer fizzy and active in the mouth.

Cask-conditioned at the Gryphon, Bristol 4/3/2016. Slightly hazy gold, with a decent, white, head. Sharp citrus fruits, solid malts, some grassy hops and a dryish finish. Good.
