440ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish, bright golden colour with average to huge, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Relatively cautious, (citrusy) fruity, hoppy aroma, hints of lemon, quince, yellow stone fruit, a touch of lemongrass, whiffs of lime, lime peel, oaty and wheaty malty background, minimally waxy, zesty overtones. Taste is slightly bitter, (citrusy) fruity hoppy, oaty and slightly wheaty malty basis with very low residual sweetness, notes of lemon, lemon peel, limoncello, a touch of quince, lemongrass, lime, unripe peach, mild zesty bitterness, a citric, tart-ish touch throughout.
Minimally creamy and oily, watery texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy, simultaneously slightly dry and even minimally astringent palate, fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Very refreshing, seemingly light, highly drinkable, well adjusted bitter- and tartness - pretty good.

Draught @ Sparkle brewpub Quiberon. Pours a hazed rosy orange, thin white head. First impression is actually of guava rather than carrot.. slick mouth feel, drying close, not sour or crisp but nice clarity.. strange one, not as expected but not unlikeable 🥕🥕🥕

Draught @ Sparkle brewpub, Quiberon. Pours a pale golden yellow with a fine mist, small white head. Some definite lemon influence.. very clear and pale, light malt body, pithy.. kind of ok.

Draught @ Sparkle brewpub, Quiberon. Pours very dark brown, tight beige head. Aroma of heavy spice, Scottish cake. Flavour profile brings rich, moist, rum-soaked, spice-heavy fruit cake.. big ginger presence.. interesting.. has a Scotch wee heavy feel.. nice.
