18th April 2016
Hazy paleish gold beer, tidy white head. Palate is light, fairly dry and has modest fine carbonation. Smooth pale malts, mildly sweet. Mild skunk and light floral sweetness. Mellow pine and citrus, touches of lime and lemon. Clean and with some airy NZ character, pretty drinkable.

On tap at The Grain Barge, Bristol, Saturday 23rd April 2016 I was about to eat so didn’t really have time for extensive notes, however just adding this rate now I was confused as I am sure they had this down as Tempest brewery but no amount of searching can find it under Tempest and this looks the most likely candidate. Poured hazy gold, there is a decent buzzy bitterness, fruity and that is as far as my notes go. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3

Keg at The Small Bar, Bristol, Saturday 23rd April 2016 Warm gold with a touch of haziness and a little skim of white across the top. Furry dry rub across the roof of the mouth, plenty of citrus, nice. It’s a good beer, but is it as good as Loz’s Axe Edge (nope!) A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.4
