Cask at GBBF’17, day one, 08/08/17. Hazed golden blonde with a decent off white head. Nose is on the turn pineapple chunks, lemon drizzle, hedgerow, hop jizz, stale breads. Taste comprises sharp passionfruit, light brett, cactus jizz, damp cloth, lime jus, lemon rind, funk, apple core, hay bale. Medium bodied, light spritz and lots of life on the carbonation front, drying close with a puckering ripple and a mellow hop background, Interesting to have an 'intentional' sour on cask ! Worked well ... another decent offering at the GBBF from Aeronaut.

On draft at Jimmy's Culpeppers. Appearance is clear, golden yellow-orange-brown, trace sparkle, two-finger width foamy white head with good retention, nice lacing. Aroma is huge pine and resin. Taste is as aroma. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with watery texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, a good piney beer with a bit more bitterness than I'd prefer. Not complex, but good.

Fresh can drunk 7/29/17.
Moderately hazy-to-cloudy, deep copper-orange body topped by a thin, off-white head.
Candied orange, creamsicle and lots of mango-papaya in the nose reminds of the juiciness of Imperial Galaxyic Cirrocumulus, though I didn't actually read yet what the difference is between the two (I think this one is lighter?). Galaxy in ok shape, though there is some resin and pine and a bit of malt sweetness that gets in the way. Still, it's not particularly problematic in any category, if it's just a bit overly fruitily jumbled.
Again quite messy in the mouth with sweet malts sort of clashing with light pine, mango and orange rind as carbonation isn't quite as engaging and tight as it needs to be. Lots of candied sweetness, citrus and moderate juicy fruit lingering. Has to be something else in here besides Galaxy as the bright wine, deep guava and dank greenery of that hop don't show through clearly here.

Hackney Bottleshare. Big thanks to Leighton for the can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and finely crisp. Light malts still bring a good level of creamy sweetness. Good strong piney hop, cooling. Good hop spice. Citrus and tropical fruits in good balance. Light crisp finish. Very light and clean this one. Delightful.

GBBF Day 3. Cask. Cloudy gold beer, bubbly white head. Palate is light, semi dry and has modest fine carbonation. Smooth sweetish malts, trace of cream. Resinous tropical fruits. Ripe citrus. Light pine. Some lemon on the finish. Nice but lacks that pixie dust of the best.

Cloudy, pale, thin head. Deep rich hops - dank and floral (these are MA-grown rakau). They must have used a fuckstack of hops in this, because Rakau isn't usually so goddamn brash. Sweet, moderate bitterness, nice.
