20th May 2016, 22oz bottle conditioned, shared with my son in California while on holiday. Pale, straw coloured with a white fading head. Citrus hop front, with a light malty base: expected a bit more hop bite and oomph to be honest, flavours more subtle than impaling.

On draught at Kraft House No. 5. The beer pours a hazed orange color with a medium off-white head that dissipates steadily to a film. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of tropical fruit, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of citrusy hops, pine and toasted malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hops aftertaste. Above average overall.

Bottle shared at the 2015 edition of the chriso Pre-GBBF tasting - London. Cheers! Pours clear copper with a creamy, tan head. Sugary bready malts and toffee in the aroma, along with some ripe fruits. Medium sweet flavour with light alcohol notes, toasted grains, some brown sugar. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Sugary finish, with more grains, booze, toasted bread. Fine overall.

22 Oz bottle poured. Pours a cloudy lemonade color with a full foam mousse head. Lemon citrus aroma that is said on like in a blind check. Flavor is lemon, grassy hops, dank, and a plastic finish. Fun beer that borders on style. Pretty good.
