Keg @ George & Dragon, Fitzrovia, London. Paler golden with a creamy head. Citrus is dominant but a low bitterness from it. There’s plenty of tropical fruitiness but also a tad dull tasting in this respect.

Keg at Port St beer house. Pours hazy gold with thin laced white head. Aroma is pineapple, weetabix, some pine. Taste is a bold pineapple hit with bitter hop finish. Great stuff.

Keg at Nags Head, Reading. 19/05/17. Intense citrus aroma. Fruity. Also a hint of sweat! Opaque gold. Creamy head, but on the thin side. Medium bitter, with a sour edge. Grapefruit. Some saltyness. Light bodied. Slick, if a tad watery. Goes down well, extremely well.

Keg at the George and Dragon - Fitzrovia. Pours mostly clear orange-gold with a thick, creamy off-white head. Prominent saison yeast in the nose, plenty of melon, grapefruit, a little hay, orange. Light sweet flavour with more over-arching saison yeast expression, melon, some rindy bitterness, crisp wheat, tangerine. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Fairly clean finish, more yeast, orange peel, grapefruit, apricot and melon. Slight grassy aftertaste. Really solid overall.

Keg @ Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours a lightly misty but generally clear gold, thin white head. Aroma has some pleasant fruitiness. Taste follows with grapefruit and zesty Robinsons orange cordial taking the lead. Surprisingly fruity in fact. Clean and no discernible oat influence. Very good.

Bottleshare at Chez Smith. Hazy amber beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Light malts and a nice light savoury brett. Modest seltzer into red wine and marmalade. Savoury finish. Red wine and brett linger. Nice.
