Keg at Heidrun, 05/08/20. Lightly hazed golden orange with a decent lasting off white cap. Nose is melon, papaya, tangerine, grass, light floral tones. Taste comprises orange zest, melon, airy malts, lemon rind, light pine dusting, citric tinged straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with balanced hop bitterness. Decent first from this brewery for me ... easy drinking, sessionable and well balanced.

Keg @ Tap and Can. Unclear gold, frothy white head. Crisp, fruity, a bit dry.. the kveik yeast doesn't really jump out, but it's pleasantly drinkable with good fruity citrus, lightly floral. A great first post-lockdown keg beer

Can, gift from Andrew. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Low carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of grapefruit and minerals. Flavour of straw and a sharp grapefruit finish. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. Sharp and thin. Itโ€™s fine but I donโ€™t think the grapefruit went well.

Can ordered from A Hoppy Place, Windsor. Piney aroma with a stone fruit edge. Hazy peach. Creamy translucent white head. Medium bitter. Sour edge. Juicy. Stone fruit with a resinous bite. Spice. Underlying fruit sugar comes through into the finish. Medium bodied. Slick, silky mouthfeel. Average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. This one delivers. Fruity but crisp and bitter.
