Can with Grumbo. Aroma of citrus, yuzu, soap, musty, herbal and medicinal disinfectant. Taste is not sour but drying metallic. Really did not enjoy it.

1/3/2025. Can from Beer Park, Llanelli. Pours clear pale gold with a large frothy white head. Aroma is musty, citrus, yuzu, soap, touch herbal. Taste is soapy, drying, metallic, tartness. Moderate body, average carbonation. Unpleasant bitter finish. Tastes like jif lemon that’s been forgotten in the fridge and has turned. Disappointing.

Can from Wales Ales. Pours a dark gold/light amber with small white top. Floral, stone fruit and light spice aroma. Very apricot and orange noted in flavour with white bread crust, flora, spice and a drying semi-bitter finish. Near medium bodied, fine carbonation. Write up is accurate on flavour notes but hop ingredients not mentioned frustratingly. I suspect its a mix of British and American hops. It grew on me, quite tasty by the end.

Can shared in London - cheers! Pours unclear deep brown with a creamy, khaki head. Lightly sweet, dry, ample festive spicing, burnt toast. Light bodied, soft. Dry finish, cinnamon. So so.
