330ml can from Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours a hazy deep amber, large frothy off-white topping. Aroma is punchy mosaic peach melba. Taste is fresh mosaic and exotic fruits with a soft wheat presence and a nice bitter edge. Great stuff.

Can at the JK ldn tasting. It pours hazy dirty blonde with a medium+ white cap. The aroma is fresh, white bread, green grass, mellow sweetness and cracker. The taste is refreshingly dry, decent bitterness, white bread, grassy, floral, straw and some underlying sweetness with a drying finish. Light - medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Rather refreshing cleanser mid-tasting. Good for the style.
