Bottle, at London Shindig, August 2007. Hazy straw colour. Slightly sharp, yeasty aroma. Light bitterness on the palate, with plenty of citrus. Sharp tangy mouthfeel, with a light body. Not bad. Might have suffered from being tasted directly after the Arcadia Cocoa Loco. Might try this one again if I get a chance.
