Can from Cork & Cask. Hazy golden body with a thick off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of lemon meringue and lemongrass. Flavour of lemon sherbet and straw. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. I got lots of sweet lemon flavour in this. It’s really nice.

Can. Hazy yellowish gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Smooth and soft palate, decent fine carbonation comes through on the back end. Fairly sweet malts, a light creamy sweetness. Whisper of something edging towards milky sweetness. A good level of hop spice here, nibbles away in a lively fashion. Smooth and semi sweet pine. Decent citrus, fairly bright but somewhat dry and well intertwined with the hop spice. Thought this was a bit sweet on the first few gob fulls, but as the palate adjusts, it is the hop spice that dominates, slight tang therein, mind. A touch of ripe tropical fruits on the finish. Lots of very good aspects here, and on paper it should be a 4 or a 4.1. But there is a lack of coherence here, that feeling that this an assemblage of parts, rather than a cohesive whole.

Cask at Lady Grey’s, Newcastle on 23rd August 2020. Thickly hazy amber with shallow white foam and full lacing. Citrus zest aroma. Intensely hoppy in-mouth with citrus peel and grapefruit juice. A finish of the same, with a lactic touch. Full bodied with a smooth yet engaging mouthfeel.
