Can 330ml (K-Supermarket City, Pori, BBE 08/2017)
A bit hazy orange-amber color, big white head, aggressive foam. Light aroma has some riped tropical fruits and citrus. Dishwash cleanser. Light-bodied. Citrus, pale malts, a bit acidic even. Quite easy citrus-fruity session IPA. Not very interesting.

(Keg at Angleterre, 20170129) The beer poured golden and cloudy. Its head was medium sized, dense and white. Aroma had exotic fruits, spiciness and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, exotic fruits, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A decent hoppy brew with low ABV.

Keg @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Black with next to no head. Strong tasting, although palatably smooth in its texture. Has a sweetness rather than any notable roasted malts in its taste, although there’s some in its nose.

Cask at the Greyfriars, Reading. An amber pour with a ring of white head; fruity aroma; sharply bitter with an apricot and almond body; then a dry finish. Rather good.

On keg at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - deep golden with a decent head and a slight haze. Nose - big elderflower and fresh sweat note. Is this Nelson Sauvin? Taste - more herbs including elderflower. Plant stalks. Dry bitter lemon pith. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - lovely beer.
