Cask at Tapping the Admiral, Kentish Town. Clear neon amber. Foamy frothy white head. Aroma has damp sugary citrus. Underlying malts. Flavourwise it has citrus tartness over sweet fruit and malts. Light-medium bodied. Lively Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Well brewed stuff - really hits the spot.

Cask at the Barrel Vault, St Pancras on 4th July 2026. Crystal clear gold with shallow white foam and full lacing. Mildly soapy citrus aroma. Rich and tangy citrus fruitiness in-mouth with earthy spices, the latter of which dominate an otherwise zesty finish. Engaging mouthfeel and a medium body. Very pleasant.

Subdued but not unpleasant. Restrained hop expression, just nips of citrus, a little straw, semi-dry pale bread. OK.
