Clear golden colour with thin lacy head. Aroma has some floral hop notes but tastes more punchy. Alpha, green hop bitterness. Misses a bit of body but good overall.

440ml can from Big Scary Monsters, Oxford. Hazed golden orange appearance, good pure white head. Light floral hop nose. Soft palate, modest tropical hop fruit coming through with a light bitterness. Could be hoppier, smoother, fruitier perhaps and very far from a New England pale but generally ok.

About what you would expect. Hazy pale orange with a small off-white head. Strong flavor and aroma of bananas and dark sugars. Kind of gross actually.

0,33 boks fra sjappe på Muswell Hill, på parkbenken: klar gylden med fint skum som varer. Nystekt brød, urter, hvetemalt, furunål og citrus. Ok bitterhet og antydning til mersmak i avslutningen.

I obtained this 330 ml can at Amathus Soho a couple of months past while on a holiday in London. The label says best before 08/2022, I’m making that easily. Popping the tab and pouring into a TX brewery snifter, just seems appropriate. A golden yellow liquid finished by a settling head of completely white foam. I smell grass, some pine and something from the meadow. The taste is mellow with grain, pine needles, a bit of juice, crackers and malt. A small bitterness. Middle of the road.
