COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Seasonal - Summer.
A delicious summer session beer. Dry hopped in the conditioning tank with armfuls of American Chinook hops, this beer oozes citrus flavour and aroma. It has a lovely sweetness balanced with a lingering bitter finish backed up with a late grapefruit hit.

Cask @ Kitty’s, Helsinki

Pours clear light yellow with a smooth foamy head. Aroma of citrusy hops, lemon and grapefruit. Taste is light and refreshing with some citrusy and grassy hops and some malts. Finish is a bit watery, quite fruity and slightly malty with some lingering bitter hops. Nice, easy going but tasty session beer.

Benzai (4373) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - JUL 13, 2012
50cl bottle @ home. Lightly unclear yellow golden color, full sized rough white head that leaves a good lacing. Smell malts, hops, slightly perfume. Taste malts, hops, bitter and lightly citrussy. Extremely fresh and easy drinkable. I wouldn’t mind having this all night. Medium carbonation, medium body. Very enjoyable.

Cask@Reading Beer Festival 2012. Yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity, floral and also has some grassy and leathery notes. Flavour is quite similar. Balanced and so, but a bit dull as well.

BeerCast_Rich (1692) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - JUN 7, 2012
[cask at the Stockbridge Tap, Edinburgh] Very pale yellow beer, nice white head. Soft, vinous aroma – I’d have sworn this was Nelson Sauvin instead of Chinook. Grapey citric flavour, some lemon and lime fruit – really easy to drink, very refreshing bitterness. Another winner – and at only 3.6 a real cracker [06062012]
