440ml can from Beer52: BB 1st Feb 2021. Drank at home on 4th Oct 2020. Misty body, white crown, citrus stuff doing their stuff, hoped for something more 'interesting', got something a bit 'main stream' and ordinary. My first beer from these guys, hope they and I get along well.

Can at the Old Piggery, from HOTM online, 15/09/20. Murky yellow orange with a decent just off white cap that stays for a while then dissipates to a swirl. Nose is bitter orange, ripe melon, grass, citric tinged straw, grapefruit zest. Taste comprises more grapefruit notes, orange zest, light melon, bitter edge, grassy bite, mineral tones. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with lightly astringent hop bitterness. Passable pale ... drinkable enough if perhaps a touch raw in places.
