Keg draught at the Beer Bank, Quarry Bank. Very light yellow gold, hazy with a ring of white head and good lacing. Juicy aroma, lots of white grapefruit and a little bit of vanilla. Vanilla sweetness and bitter citrus hops hitting the mouth at once. Nice balance but not a lot of complexity. Bitter hop oil in the finish. Medium body, carbonation surprisingly soft. It's a decent pale but a bit 'Craft by numbers'-y.

Keg pint at The Wrekin Inn on Charter Day, 1st March 2025. Milky hazed look, white crown. Orange and citrussy brothers rule the aroma and taste, some malt action but it's all about the hops.

Can from HOTM. Opaque yellow with a large white head. Soft mouthfeel with a light but rather prickly fizz. Good grape flavour up front with some melon too. There's a hint of pineapple and lemon in the background before a light pine note emerges in the mildly bitter finish. Good stuff, I do like nelson sauvin and it shows through nicely here.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Mildly hazy yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, fairly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a mild sweetness. Crisp pine hops, very mild hop spice. Citra and Azacca deliver decent hop citrus, a mild but bright lemony vibe from Azacca. Light dry finish. Tastes decent but, for me the overall quaff experience is let down by a somewhat thin and dry mouth feel.
