Can at home in Hackney - picked up from OG Clapton Craft. Pours clear pale yellow with a creamy, pure white head. Light sweet flavour with pleasant bready pale malts, some nice citrus - lemon, grapefruit, tangerine - nips of pine needles. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Well balanced finish, lightly pithy, more pale bread notes. Quite nice. Similar to Punk AF but not as dry and bitter.

I was wary of this one because had coconut scrawled all over the can and I hate that stuff. But it's a really good beer! Good pour, great in the glass and very well balanced flavour. And I am more than pleasantly surprised. Beer 2 of the Zoom parents evening. You've got to get through it somehow......

Great pour, good carbonation and a great head. A real richness of flavour with good mouthfeel and length. A proper lager! Drinking it surreptitiously while doing a zoom parents evening for middle daughter.

Cask-conditioned at the Brit Bar, Weston Super Mare, 29/5/2024. Golden in colour, with a slight, white, head. Tangerine and gooseberry fruits, some light maltiness and grassy hops leading to a moderately bitter finish. Good.

Can at home on a sunny Sunday evening having been fleeced for new glasses. AF because I have to pick up two offspring from drama rehearsals. Ok, this is the best AF I've had so far. Great pour, good head and a vibrant yet hazy colour in the glass. Bags of flavour and a tingly citrus mouthfeel. This is very good and I would happily drink this again.

Can at Pizzanova, Bristol. This was nice enough with fresh hop profile but just lacking in body, feeling watery. Needed some more dry hopping perhaps..

Cask at The Eldon House, Bristol. What you want from this kind of beer. Supremely chuggable with a lovely citra fruity hop palate. Very easy. (18/5/24).

Panda courtesy of mR_fr0g, cheers Fergus! Gluten Free. Slightly hazed pale yellow straw colour, white foam head and aroma of grains, fruits, citrus. Taste is malt, grain, fruity, tangy, with some citric bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying bitter finish. Quite drinkable.
