Keg at GBBF'23, day 3, 03/08/23. Moderately hazed golden blonde with a decent white cap that stays for the show. Nose is orange zest, airy malts, straw, toasted grains. Taste comprises tangerine, melon, citric tinged straw, grass, light mineral bite. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with modest hop bitterness. A touch pedestrian and aimed at the mass market of NU-Craft drinkers, nothing to revisit but equally nothing terrible.

Keg at GBBF'23, day 3, 03/08/23. Clear golden yellow topped with a white cap. Nose is grass, grains, herb, straw, lemon rind. Taste comprises hedgerow, pale malts, light herb, orange nip, trace of bread, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Okay refresher. Agenda against this brewer @beese ... 1.6 then 1.1 ?!? They're nothing special but really not that bad.

Can from Beer 52 – drank at home. Pours a pale straw with a slight greenish tinge and minimal off-white head. Not much of an aroma – just some vague sweet malts. Malts again in the mouth, this time with a few continental hops. Even so it is still thin and watery. Some lemon and citrus come through later. Slight bitterness in the finish. Well it’s refreshing, but not at all distinctive, in fact dull and anonymous.
