L42 Bottleshare. Thanks to Ade. Mildly hazy amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Creamy malts, slightly dry. Spicy hops. Mellow orange peel bitterness. Little lemon. Light finish leaves a citric peel bitter linger. Decent.

May 2017 - Bottle share at One Canada Square. Big thanks to Adrian! As ’Storm&Anchor Down Range IPA’, 7.6%. Translucent amber orange, foamy off-white head leaves full lacing. Aroma is musty, flinty, floral. Body is maybe a little frothy with soft carbonation. Taste is resinous, orange oil, marmalade. Strangely quite restrained in the aroma and quite sweet in the taste. Bit of a disconnect but it works for me. (3.7)

Heavy grain and cereal malts, bread, sweet, candied citrus fruits. Clear, dark brown, small, creamy, white head. Light sweet. More sweet citrus fruits, orange, candied citrus fruits, soft carbonation, medium bodied. A touch sweet, too heavy on malts. Bottle from Beers’n’More, Zurich, shared at Level 42 tasting.

Bottle split at L42, thanks to Tipple Mr, 18/05/17. Almost clear golden orange with a decent off white cap. Nose is bitter orange, straw, light bread, grains, earthy hop. Taste comprises old school vibes, caramel, grains, straw, bitter orange, melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Average for style.

Bottle shared on Level 42 18/05/2017. Many thanks to Mr tipple for this one. A golden amber coloured pour with a a loose halo of off white head. Aroma is rustic sweet malts, hay, straw, brown sugars, little apple, earthy notes. Flavour is composed of semi sweet toffee, brown sugars woody earthy, little apple. Palate is medium sweet, moderate carbonation. Woody. Ok. Middle of the road.

Bottle thanks Mr T. It pours clear orangeish - amber with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, bready, sweet lemonade, minerals and a touch of soap. The taste is slick, restrained bitterness, oily, chewy, bready, lemonade, lager shandy, cheddar cheese and resin with a soft finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A bit more sweet and malty than I had hoped for...

Bottle shared in London - big thanks to MrTipple. Pours clear orange-gold with a frothy, white head. The aroma holds ripening citrus fruits, piney hops, crackery pale malts. Medium sweet flavour with jammy citrus, some gummy white grape, crusty pale bread, more pine. Medium bodied, oily, with fine carbonation. Resinous finish, with more crackery pale malts, pine, tangerine. Not bad.

Bière puissante et ronde. Lourd parfum dès l’ouverture de la capsule. Long arrière goût boisé. Un rien râpeuse.

Bottle. Aroma is filled with citrus hops and light caramel notes. Well balanced. Starts off with some caramel malt notes with a strong hop bitter finish. Mandarine citrus notes. Very good!

UPDATED: FEB 13, 2017 Poured from a 33cl bottle at home. A medium hazy copper-bronze. Very balanced malt to hops. Both great. Caramel to honey flavours from the malt, and citrus (perhaps orange/mandarin and passion fruit) and some pine, from the hops. Medium to low bitterness that lingers shortly.
