A: pours a very clouded straw yellow with two fingers of white head that thins to a half finger and hangs around for the rest of the experience but leaves no lacing.

S: light citrus and yellow fruits, lemons, pears, apricots, bananas, sweet apples, bread like and yeasty.

T: a lot like the nose bit softer on the citrus and more subtle on the fruits. There are more of the bread and wheat notes. Much like crackers and pear slices at the end.

MF: light, crisp, refreshing, a good effervescence and smooth.

O: a good wit, extremely drinkable. Light flavors compared to a great nose is the only disappointing part to this beer.

Had this beer on tap this past week at a local bar.

This beer had become a favorite of mine while living in London, but was not as happy with it this time. It tasted a little different, a little more a bitter grapefruit taste, definitely not as sweet.

The look was the same out of the tap, nice golden color garnished with a lemon. Smell was definitely not as strong as what I had been accustomed to in Europe.

Overall I was a little disappointed. It was a good beer, but something that I would grow tired of after two pints.

Serving type: on-tap
