5.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
On tap at Lucky Labrador, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma of zesty citrus notes, some spice, and biscuity malt. Flavour reveals an astringent citrus hop component with some mild off-flavours. Not very complex nor refined. Decent, but not overly drinkable.

On tap at Lucky Labrador, pours a clear copper with a tiny head. Aroma brings out very faint ginger. Flavour reveals the same, with maybe a touch more pronounced ginger and nothing else. Pretty weak stuff. Passable but very boring.

Draught. Rather pleasant hop aroma, citrus and floral. Bready flavour, not sure what happened to the beer between nose and mouth. Somewhat oily finish.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear amber color with a large white head. A fresh green hop nose, light resin and pine. The flavor is quite nice: caramel, pine, medium bitterness, some sweet fruit essence, a bit green and grassy. Very clean and tasty.
