Draft at GBBF 2013, day 3 - London. Pours lightly hazy amber with a fine, frothy white head. The nose holds juicy tropical fruits. Medium to big sweet flavor with sugary tropical fruits, mango, melon, pale bread. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with super juicy hop character, more tropical fruits, nips of pine. More like a barley wine/DIPA hybrid. Still, pretty tasty.

Pour is a chill haze golden with a average white head. Aroma is kind of a neutral grain with no hops noticeable. Flavor is again more of a grain with a ever so slight grassy hop. I know this is a low abv session beer but this was hardly flavorful and needed a bit more of the hops to come out. This was very watery and almost tasteless.
