Can at home in Hackney - picked up in the neighbourhood. Pours clear copper-gold with a frothy, off-white head. The nose suggests tangy citrus, light berries, pale grains. Light sweet flavour with more tangy fruit character, some grape, lemon, grainy pale bread, a touch of piney bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with more mild citric bite, some more berries, a few leaves, pine needles, more grainy bread. Pretty rough overall.
