Bottle from Stirchley Wines, Birmingham. Poured a clear pissy gold colour with a reserved white head. Grassy hop and gooseberry aroma. Quite lively carbonation. Flavour had some juicy citrus notes in tandem with some decent mouth coating hop bitterness that stuck around well into the finish. All considered a decent beer, much better than anticipated.

Gravity at the Kingston beer festival 2012, golden with not much head, tart golden fruit and hops on the nose, malty body with fruit and citrus hops overlaying, dry hoppy yet faintly sweet finish.

Hand pulled at the Anchor, Birmingham. Golden, with an inch of head and a fruity hop smell. This one initially tasted a bit sweaty and gritty, but as it runs along the length of my tongue, it turns into a pleasantly sweet, gritty hop.
