Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Very hazy gold. Compact, sticky, lasting, just off white head. Peach and strawberry. Lemon zest, and a little astringency, that I’m not entirely sure is intended. Taste has some tartness, too. Grassy, sharp bitterness, that makes for a zingy, refreshing mouthfeel. More of the same on the finish. Definitely a bit wrong, but still drinkable.

330ml bottle. Murky golden colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Perfumed, soapy, minimally peppery aroma, notes of ginger, pink pepper, Asian spices in general, hoppy overtones lend hints of tangerine. Taste is minimally sweet, perfumed, floral, soapy, spicy, peppery, hints of ginger, ginseng, bamboo, pink pepper, Asian spices, lemon overtones. Not free from the typical soapy bath salt character going along with ginger, but overall mild and balanced - and quite exotic.

Half pint handpulled cask ale at The Union Tavern. Crystal clear golden body. Naked on the surface. Fruity hops and bread on the nose, semi-dry. Taste of fresh tropical fruits mingled with mild brown malts leading to a dry bitter ending. Medium to thin bodied. Satisfying and quite refreshing (London 24.09.2014).

Bright clear gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is light and crispy and semi dry. Big tangy orange and lemon. Touch of floralness. Airy dry finish brings a pinch of hop spice. Tangy fruity liner. Suspiciously strong in it’s tang but quite drinkable.
