Keg in Caps & Taps, Tufnell Park, London before the Crawlers gig at The Dome. Opaque and slightly dirty yellow. Melon, gooseberry, grapefruit juice and a light herbal note in the finish. Slightly chalky yet still refreshing mouthfeel. A lovely, tasty hazy pale this.

Keg @ Chain House Taproom, Preston. Golden with a glow and a very small head. Pretty good effort within its style. Healthy golden styled pale ale brew. Hoppy with depth and light sweetness.

Keg @ Chain House Taproom, Preston. Hazy pale golden with next to no head. Citrus based pale not feeling its strength, although of good strength despite its weaker looking appearance. Semi-sweet tropical fruit in both aroma and taste.

Keg @ Chain House Taproom, Preston. Hazy pale golden with a thin head. Citrus pale with its dry hopping very evident, providing the brew's distinctive character in this respect. Pine is best in its nose, but fair in taste too. Some tropical fruit.

Keg @ Chain House Taproom, Preston. Hazy light golden with a small head. Citrus brew, some hoppiness but nice tropical flavours and aroma mostly. Session strength but feels fuller than 3%>
