L- Mid gold, slightly hazy, pours with 1Cm white head of mixed sized bubbles. Bottle had rested for several days, poured with care, I noticed a film of yeast residue remained on the bottom of the bottle - ie It does appear to be bottle conditioned.
S- Pungent grapefruit with a hint of lychee.This suggests it's likely a hops-forward beer.
T- Strongly citrus/grapefruit. A hint of lychee continues to manage to fight it's way through.
F- It's very hoppy/dry, not shatteringly so but I'd imagine this is pitched at a younger demographic.
O- I get the impression it's gone for copious pungent hops at the expense of a sense of balance, including much of that which more traditional beer drinkers might expect to find in a beer. I appreciate that this style is currently in fashion but as long as I can buy titans of brewing accomplishment such as Fuller's Golden Pride* [etc] for materially less than this one, then it's not for me.
Bought from Amathus Wines, Wardour Street, Soho, London, W1. £3/330ml bottle. BB 31/10/2019
* I use that as an example, as that is what I'm just about to enjoy right now...

330ml Bottle from Tesco:
This one started well on the nose with some nice tropical flavours combining well with the floral bitterness & hops, things settled down further on though & the taste was a little one-sided with dry & floral flavours stealing the show. It wasn't too bad to drink but something seemed a little off & it wasn't a patch on the brewery's King of Hearts that I had last.
