Can at Partizan - thanks to Danny ... Paul&Lorna leaving bash, 02/08/18. Light haze on a pink pour with an off white cap. Nose is pink berry fizz, berry yoghurt, damp wood. Taste comprises sharp berry fruits, damp hay, light funk. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light puckering effect. Decent for the ABV.

Can shared in Bermondsey - cheers! Pours hazy purple with a creamy head. The nose holds tangy berries, a little cereal. Lightly sweet, subtly tart, dried berries. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Tangy finish, some pale bread, more tart berries. Pretty decent.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - it's a gusher. Golden with thin lace when settled. Nose - oranges, even mandarines. Taste - orange and barley. Then really thin. Palate - light bodied and thin. What d'you expect. Overall - it's not a real drink, but not bad considering.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at a local bottle shop. Pours totally clear yellow-gold with a modest, foamy white head. Very simple pale bread in the aroma, with a sprinkling of pine needles. Light sweet flavour with more pale malts, damp bread, minimal bitterness, some lemon peel and more pine needles. Light to bodied with fine to average carbonation. More bland pale malt character to finish, a hint of biscuit and pine. Overall, it's drinkable (so it water) but I just don't get the point. This tastes almost nothing like higher alcohol beer. Nobody would substitute a 'normal' IPA for this and enjoy it. Are there people out there who just enjoy vaguely malty water? If so, I guess that's the target audience.
