Bottle from Craft Clapham. Light golden, slightly cloudy colour, white fluffy head, looks a bit like a Bons Voeux. Aroma is initially grainy, bit of cream, fruity, apples and a touch of lemon, belgian yeastiness, bubblegum. Taste is good and gets better. Nice graininess, bit of sweetness, vanilla, nice and fruity too, strawberries and cream. Sips are alternately, dry grainy and slightly bitter and then fruity sweet. Nice stuff.

On tap @ Erzbierschof. Hazy golden color with big white head and nice lacing. Funk, lemon, hay. Taste is sweet-fruity, a hint of funk and tartness, and a not even that dry finish with a bit of cookie dough/bread. Carbonation is smooth, silky mouthfeel. Nice, but I would have liked it a bit drier and a bit tarter.
