Can at home in Hackney - picked up at Craft Beer Rising 2018, London. Pours clear honey gold with a foamy, white head. The aroma holds mellow coffee, citrus fruits, orange. Light sweet flavour with dried pale malts, bitter coffee, some grass and orange peel, pale grains. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Alright balance in the finish, a touch dry and flinty, with more grassy bitterness, soft coffee, some earth, more rind, grain husk. Interesting stuff, and not bad, but it could be more cohesive.
