500ml bottle. Clear pale golden/straw colour with a frothy white head. Aroma: hoppy, tropical fruit, citrus, grassy, slightly vinous. Taste: tropical fruit, citrus, grassy, yeast and again slightly vinous. Light sweetness and good bitterness. Texture is a bit thin but a fairly decent beer overall.

500ml bottle @ the Grain Loft, Manchester Airport while waiting for a nail to be pulled out of the plane tyre. Pours clear gold, good white head. Good floral citrus hop presence, some grape. Typically easy-drinking APA with plenty of fruity colour.

Cask at Thornbridge. Golden pour. Aroma of tropical fruit and white grape. Fresh taste of tropical fruits, citrus, white grape and mild grainy caramel. Very nice, all hail Nelson Sauvin.

Op tap bij Kompaan. Waterig, verfrissend, niet half waard wat het kostte. Backlog from 2015/09/17.

Bottle from Beers’n’more. But I’m not sure there’s in it what’s advertised. Very thin throughout, with an aroma and a taste that I only know from slightly hoppy industrial lager. I can only hope something went wrong with this bottle. (3/2/5/2/9) Re-rated. Still an odd beer, but definitely better than my first. Very bitter, but rather half-baked in any other respect.
