Cloudy amber beer, good white head. Palate is dry and semi crisp. Very dry wheaty malt, a little creamy. Brandyish alcohol, drying. Maybe a trace of orange hop. Dry finish. Bitter aftertaste. Rough! More than a bit of a feel of industrial lager about this!
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Perfumey hop aroma. Smooth feel with low carbonation also quite thick and syrupy. This one has a strong level of bitterness but has a disappointing lack of depth for something in this style with this strength.

Orange body, white head. Nice yeasty and hoppy aroma with caramel, grapefruit, orange, mango. Balanced flavour with caramel and grapefruit. Nice.
