Bottle at home. Pale straw orange colour, thick bubbly white head. Light grassy hops, lemon, slightly musky spice on the nose. Grains, soft lemon, hay, grassy hops, thin over-bitter finish. Crisp enough, but not great.

Bottle. Cloudy lemon gold with a medium head. Aroma of thin grain. Flavour is dominated by cough sweet lemon, quite bitter palate.

Golden pour with a frothy white head. Aroma: hops, grain, citrus, grass, banana, quite subdued aroma set. Crisp and refreshing with all of the above present and balanced. I'd happily sup away on Barefoot on a night out.

Pours a clear straw color with a medium fizzy white head that evaporates steadily to a film. Spotty lacing. Aroma of pale malts and hops. Light body with flavors of mildly bitter herbal hops, wheat and touches of fruit. The finish is lightly bitter with a short grassy hops aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Bottled, from The Drink Store, Dublin. Cloudy deep golden, rich firm head. Sourdough aroma. Sweet and sour with clean mouthfeel and light-medium body. Unpleasant flavour of lemon yoghurt and boiled vegetables. Spicy bitter finish with some metal. Some hay and crystal malt can´t save it - it is infected and thoroughly unpleasant.

33 cl bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is vegetables, selleri and light toasted malty. Light toasted malty, grassy, hay and straw. Bitter and grassy finish.

bottle home ...golden yellow ... soft floral lemon ... light grassy nose ... soft grassy hop ... dull grassy hop ok

Bottle [330ml] shared with garthicus & HogTownHarry -- c/o garthicus. Pours a hazy gold with a small diminishing frothy off-white head. Aroma of canned peas, light sourness, grassy hops, grain and oddly enough, manure. Flavour is grainy, grassy and vegetal -- hoppier then I expected. Average bodied. Didn’t much care for the aroma but the flavour is not bad at all.

My bottle from Ireland. Appearance: Cloudy yellow, small white head. Aroma: Lemon, peas, a little ’farm like’, grain, lots of yeast and a little spice. Flavour: Lemon, a little tart, grain, quite hoppy, yeasty, quite a unique flavour, some canned peas type flavour underlining it.

330ml bottle shared by garthicus with me and blankboy. Cloudy orange-gold with a smallish white frothy head. Grassy and oily grain aroma, a little pungent and lemon-acidic - decent. Taste follows, a little earthy. Light body, a bit chewy and astringent, moderately carbonated, medium-ish long dry somewhat herbal finish - I liked it.
