50cl bottle picked in Eastbourne. Finally tracked this down after month’s of looking. It’s bottle conditioned, so it’s a slightly hazy straw colour with a loose cream head; grainy citrus aroma - much like a German pilsner; it’s soft, sweet, and grainy in the mouth; before a pleasant citrusy bitterness to finish.

Cask conditioned handpump Earth & Stars Brighton. A darkish blonde coloured beer with a white head. There are citrussy hoppy notes in the aroma leading to a chewy fruity taste. The hops are decent and fruity but it seemed to be shallowing.
