Bottle shared at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks mom for this bottle! Hazy yellow with a big white head. Nice fruity hops aroma, citric and tropical, with some what. Flavor has light sweetness, wheat, graininess, a bit of bread, and nice bitterish fruity hops. Light to medium-bodied, lively carbonation. Nice and refreshing.

On tap at the Victoria, Clifton Lido, Bristol 6/9/2016. Slightly hazy gold with a decent, white, head. Big, tropical fruit and tangerine notes, with a hint of pine and some grassy hops. Flavour was similar on the fruitiness, with crsp malts and a lingering, dry, finish. Very good.
