Can, gift from Tom. Hazy golden body with a few tiny flecks beneath a thin white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of minerals, straw and orange rind. Flavour of grapefruit and wheat. Thin to medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. A simple, hop-forward beer.

Can from Cork & Cask. Dark brown body with a thick beige head. Good lacing. Aroma of blueberries, liquorice and ash. Flavour of sharp cranberry and a woody/chocolatey quality. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. A tasty beer but I’d have loved a bit more depth from the malt.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up at Royal Mile Whiskies. Pours clear gold with a foamy, white head. Dry citrus peel in the nose, orange, some pale grains. Light sweet flavour, dry and flinty, some grass, flinty minerality, hay, a little astringency. Light bodied with average carbonation. Dry finish, quite bitter, some pine needles, grass, more dried citrus peel, more mellow astringency and flinty notes. So so overall.
