[Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm] Clear golden. Fruity and sweet with evident notes of honey. There’s some grain and a touch of grassy hops, followed by light resiny biterness. Too sticky.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 3 June) Colour is amber with bubbly, disappearing, head. Nose is fruity with lots of citrus (oranges, mandarin, grapefruit). Taste is fruity and flowery with citrus and a nice, fresh hoppy finish. Light to medium body. Easy to drink and refreshing.

Cask gravity at The George, Bethersden. Copper colour with off white head. Well balanced aroma of earthy hop and caramel malt. Reasonably juicy in mouth with a good hoppy finish that errs on the earthy citrus side. Good balance of flavours

Foxy orange, hazy: good, fluffy off-white head. Bananaester, apple & solvent, fruity & estery, point of sourness already in the nose. Rather raw, near adstringent MF, priming on the taste per se, which is acidic, very carbonated, with a peppery finish. Esters are there, but the MF really dominates everything. In the aftertaste, again solvent. Way too aggressive beer. The "full bodied soft finish " from the commercial description is, aptly, humbug!
