Keg draught at the Royal Albert, New Cross. Light to mid-golden and clear with a ring of white head. Gentle citrus aroma with some caramel. Sweet taste, some bready malt with hoppy fruit notes and a slightly bitter finish. Carbonation on the heavy side. Kind of a pale-by-numbers but to be honest I don't mind that in this heat. And it's for a good cause. And I love the reference. Bona!

Pours a clear golden colour with a small foamy white head. Aroma is bready malts, citrus and a hint of grass. A moderately sweet taste, sweet malts, bready and lemon flavours and a medium-light hop bitterness.

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 23 Apr 2022) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of apricots, peaches and citrus. Malty, fruity taste with peaches, apricots, leafy hops and a mild herbal bitterness in the finish. Light body, with a slight sweetness. Gentle, refreshing and tasty. Quite nice.
