Can from Hop Burns and Black. Pours lightly hazy golden yellow with a bubbly white head that recedes reasonably quick. Nose is mostly lemon and pine, light grassy malt. Very little sweetness, clean medium bitterness. Pleasantly hoppy dry finish, light body, lively carbonation. Drinkable but a bit lightweight.

On tap. Pours a dull almost hazy amber with moderate head. Aromas of candied pineapple, citrus, grass and toasted malts. Flavors of dried citrus and woody hops. The flavors are disappointing based on the nose.

(Can) Hazy golden yellow colour with big, frothy, off-white head. Traces of lacing. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of pineapple, grapefruit, mango and herbal hops. Fruity, hoppy taste with pineapple, grapefruit, mango, white bread and a balanced herbal/citric bitterness in the finish. Quite aromatic, not overly bitter. Soft malt profile. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Hoppy and refreshing. Very nice.

Draft @ Duke of Wellington, Spitalfields/London. Slightly cloudy yellow with an ok white head. Aroma of tangerines and lemons. Taste of lemons, tangerines, grains and zest. Low to medium bitterness. Strong carbonation. Very watery. Well, this is kind of ok but also boring as can be.

Can at home picked up from Waitrose Gloucester road. A clear golden coloured pour with a decent frothy white head. Aroma is nutty, waxy grains, grass, stewed hop, green cereal grains. Flavour is composed of thin earthy cereal grains, grass, stewed hops, numbing hop, firm dirty hop bitterness. Palate is little thin, moderate fine carbonation. Not bad.
