Bottle shared with Jack at The Kernel - sourced from Sourced St. Pancras. Pours cloudy gold with a creamy white head. Nose of minerals, grapefruit, lime and melon. Light to medium sweet flavor with light grass, pine needles, melon, pineapple and grapefruit. Light in body with fine carbonation. Moderately sweet to finish with tangy tangerine, grapefruit light salt and lemon. Decent enough pale ale, though I wonder if there’s some bottle variation with this beer/ brewery as Jack and I didn’t think this beer was as good as previous ratings would suggest (and the previous raters know their stuff).

Bottle at home. It pours clear light gold with a thick white head. The nose is juicy fruit salad.... mango, tangerine pineapple, banana and faint barnyard notes. The taste is orange, tangerine, ripe mango, pineapple, soda water and crisp bitterness with clean, dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Smooth, fresh, fruity and massively drinkable. Good work Pressure Drop!

Bottle from Sourced Market at home. bottled 22/4/13 so really fresh. The aroma is incredibly fres, juicy fresh mango, tropical fruit salad. Pale golden colour with a slight haze, persistent white head. Flavour is bursting with fruity hops. Smooth mellow bitterness in the finish. Soft palete with moderately high carbonation. Finish is dry, which makes you want a another sip. This is a fantastic beer.

Bottle at home in London with Lyoli - sourced from the almighty Krishna. Pours lightly hazy gold with a pronounced, creamy white head. Lots of sweet, bready wheat in the nose. Medium sweet flavor with loads of wheat, cereal, dough, hints of orange merengue. Light bodied with average, creamy carbonation. More dough, wheat and cereal to finish, mashed bananas, faint hay, lemon. Very tasty beer in general but could be refined a bit.

330ml bottle. Cloudy dark ruby red colour with huge, frothy to macropore, diminishing yet fairly lasting, minimally lacing, beige-ochre head. Smoky and wheaty aroma, cautious hints of yeast, fruity undertones with notes of red berries. Taste is vinous fruity, dark berries and grapes, smoky overtones, some yeast; disturbing, lively carbonation.

330ml bottle [5.0% abv]. Filmy golden colour with average to huge, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Unspecific tropical fruity hop aroma, a touch of honey. Taste is initially moderately sweet fruity, tangerine, some pine, later dry to bitter hoppy with a soapy touch. Light body, fizzy carbonation.

Hazy amber beer, little white head. Palate start smooth and turns minerally crisp. Unusual Wit - there is a little citrus and a trace of bubblegum ester but dominant flavour is a cooling mellow mint and spearmint! Finishes semi dry. No idea if this what was intended but I actually really liked it!

Bottle from Sourced Market, St Pancras. It pours very dark brown with a thick beige head. The nose is fresh pine, earth, light brown sugar and chocolate covered coffee beans. The taste is pine, light toast, caramel, burnt brown sugar, cocoa, earth, varnish and good level of bitterness with a lingering dry-bitter finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation and velvety mouth-feel. Really well-balanced and very drinkable. Very well done.
