Can from Marshall 's Farmshop. It pours cloudy blonde with a medium, bubbly white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, fragrant, lemon, lime, marmalade, grapefruit, fragrant, floral and some crisp biscuity malt. The taste is crispy, firmly dry, pleasing bitterness which lingers throughout, peppery spice, pithy, zesty, lemon peel, line, fragrant, floral, cereal and some biscuity malt with a lingering bitter - dry finish. Light body and average carbonation. Rather nice overall. Aroma is quite vibrant. Wouldn't happily drink a few.

Hand-pulled half-pint in my local Spoon's on 6th November 2024. Golden amber body, white crown that lasted. Citrus lead in the nose and taste, good bitterness and a crisp herbal bite in the finish.
