Can at level 42, thanks to LKS. It pours hazy deep dirty gold with a medium white head. The aroma is mellow, sweet, juicy, nectarine, peach, mango sorbet, pineapple, earth and grass. The taste is bitter, juicy, pineapple, nectarine, earth, dirty, pine, grassy green edge, dankness and some spring onion with a dry, fruity finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Nice juicy fruit character, if a bit dirty.

Half, cask at Scottish Stores, Kings Cross. A filmy layer to clear golden body. Moderate fruit hoppy small, notes of ripe citrus. Mid-sweet fruity flavours, moments of pineapple and grapefruit bitterness towards the ending. Thirst quenching. True to the style, more or less (London 10.04.2016).

Can at home in London - picked up at the London Brewers Market. Pours clear, deep gold with a frothy, white head. The aroma is nice and juicy, with strong notes of mango, peach, tangerine and orange. Medium sweet flavour with lots of ripe, plump tropical fruits, more mango, papaya, apricot, nectarine, orange, some relaxed piney bitterness, dry pale bread. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Fairly clean on the finish, with slight resin, more fresh and juicy citrus and tropical fruits, adequate bready sugars. Really well balanced overall, and hugely drinkable. Once again, London Beer Factory shows that they brew really good beer. I’m not sure they get as much attention as they might deserve.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from the London Brewers Market in April 2016. Pours lightly hazy gold, somewhat effervescent, with a frothy, white head. Wow, this has a really lovely aroma, with soft tangerine, light pale malts, orange, hints of pine. Light-medium flavour with good and balanced supporting pale bread sugars, fairly juicy citrus, more tangerine, some peach, melon, mild piney and rindy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation and smooth texture. Finishes with just a hint of hop resin, along with more pale bread, biscuits, tangerine, orange, peach. Well, this really is quite good. It’s Kernelesque in its softness and drinkability, and almost even in its juiciness. Outstanding beer overall.
