500ml can purchased from the Offie, Leicester and drunk at home. Light yellow/gold, creamy with a small layer of white head. Light orange aroma, some tropical fruits, oats. Sweet taste, lots of creamy orange and mango, with a touch of bitterness on the finish. Medium body, medium to heavy carbonation. Comes together very nicely.

568 ml can as part of an ASDA shop, drunk at home. Light gold and clear with a quickly dissipating off-white head. Aroma gives plenty of pine, lemongrass, sharp citrus. Taste is nicely bitter, more pine, a little soapy,massive grapefruit hop. Bitter and slightly dry on the finish. Body is full with soft to medium carbonation. Impressive if maybe a little below Northern Monk's usual standards.

Keg sraught at the Needle & Pin, Loughborough. Mid-Gold and clear with a nice little white head. Very malty aroma, hints of lemon escaping. Taste is very full, malt-led. Incredibly satisfying for the ABV. The only issue for me is in a slightly vegetal finish when the bitterness fixes in a little. Light body with big carbonation. All in all it is certainly good for what it is.

Handpull cask at the Needle & Pin, Loughborough. Lightish gold and a tiny bit hazy with the thinnest possible layer of white head. Light aroma: creamy, suggestions of citrus, some white grape. Sweet taste, more grape and grapefruit here, a delightful bitter at the finish. Body is a little watery, soft carbonation. Not too bad.

440ml can bought from Tønne, Leicester. Light gold and hazy with a quickly dissipating white head and some lacing. Aroma of orange and grapefruit, maybe a touch of apricot. Taste is bittersweet and frankly a little bit bland but still decent. Short finish. Body is a little watery but the heavy carbonation masks it. It's a bit mid for Boundary but I'm happy enough with it.
