From a freebie 8 pack. Citrus and pine aroma Bright amber. Lively bubbles giving rise to a towering foamy white head. Light bitter. Minimal overly polite hops. Weak citrus. Slightly more intense into the finish. Light and watery. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. The aroma promised more but it's a let down. Underpowered Session IPA. But, yeah, perfectly sessionable.

In a freebie 8 pack from Beer52. At first it has a creamy mocha aroma, before dark berries come through. Dark and glossy. Thick and creamy beige head. Bitter with a sour edge. Tart berries and coffee. Develops a craziness into the finish. But the tartness remains. Medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Long if low key finish, with an astringent element. Decent porter. Could do with less of the tartness.

33cl bottle from Beer52. A slightly hazy, very pale amber pour with a tight white head; floral aroma with a touch of spice; sweet floral taste with some bitter herbs and a lightly spiced finish. Pleasant enough, but I wouldn't buy it again.
