Lots of crushed watermelons. Lots of bitterness. Tangerines. A little too yeasty but easy-to-fix. Nice beer.

Slightly unclear pale golden colour, small soapy white head, half-way lasting, light lacing. Modest aroma, pale malts, grain, orange, light caramel. Taste light sweet and bitter, malty, grainy, light orange. Bit more bitter in the aftertaste, spicy and husky notes. Medium body, watery to oily texture, soft carbonation. Decent cream ale (though not really a very special style imo).

Can at home, 20/08/17. Very light haze on a golden pour with a well presented off white head. Nose is pale malts, light citric tickle, grains, bread, hint of vanilla. Taste comprises toasted grains, airy malts, watermelon, grass, light floral whisper. Medium bodied, light spritzy carbonation, semi drying close. Inoffensive but at 5.4% delivers little.
