Bottle shared in London / many thanks to Dan boy. Pours unclear yellow-gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds grass, pale grains, plastic, lemon peel. Light sweet flavour with chlorophenols, more plastic, grass. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Astringent and aggressively bitter to finish. Not great.

33cl bottle bought at Kew Gardens. A murky amber colour with a billowing cream coloured head; tropical fruit aroma; dry in the mouth with some tropical fruit and lots of pine resin; and long finish that's full of fresh resinous hops. Rather good.

33cl bottle from Kew gardens, ABV 4.6%. A slightly hazy amber pour with a thick cream head; aroma of orange and lemon peel; an immediate spicy bitterness in the mouth, with a sweet citrusy body; and a then a more biscuity texture with lingering bitter grapefruit. Rather tasty.
