Hackney Bottleshare. Hazy deep gold beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy and mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Fluffy malts, sweetish. Semi sweet floralness. Green tea? A trace if you are looking for it. Light and mildly bitter citrus, touch of pink grapefruit. Light finish. Not bad, some more green tea would have made it interesting.

Bottle at home in Hackney - big thanks to Matteo for hooking it up. Pours unclear orange-gold with a frothy, white head. The nose holds simple pale grains, hints of biscuits, lemon rind. Light to medium sweet flavour with some doughy notes, cereal, minimal bitterness, nips of hay, a little grassy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more simple pale grains, light grass, doughy biscuits. Pretty basic, but not bad overall.

Bottle at home in Hackney - many thanks to Mattyo! Pours lightly hazy gold, quite effervescent, with a dense, frothy white head. Mild citric hops in the nose, some peach, cracked wheat, biscuits. Light sweet flavour with low bitterness, some lemon rind, more peachy notes, some husky grains, dirty hay. Light bodied with active, massaging carbonation. Finishes with mellow grassy bitterness, more citrus rind, dry pale malts. Very drinkable.

For me incresdibly minty like a cold cucumber. Refreshing. Spritzy. Some lemon bonbons. Estery yeast. Clean. Really well-made.

Bottle at LKS. It pours cloudy amber with a small white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, green banana, herbal, zesty citrus and candy. The taste is crisp, dry, bready, grapefruit, banana vibe, spice, hay, grass, tannin and metal with a drying finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Quite a lot of green banana about it. So-so.

Bottle share at Leighton's pad. Thanks to Kenny for this one. Pours hazy gold with a thin white head. Aroma is a little funk, Grapefruit and green tea. Taste is a nice sharp funky hit that mellows with the tea. Nice stuff.
