Had this one at Central City’s Cask Festival and in my opinion it was the class of the show. Faintly cloudy, bright amber, with a very subtle ale nose. Big grapefruit start that carries through. Great Flavour. Great beer.

Oct 25, 2009 On tap. Light orange brew with a messy white cap. Fruity (apricot, orange, strawberry), nondescript malts that lack a solid backbone, still, it is a bit interesting.
Back of the mouth spicy flavours, lots of hops, almost leafy, bit of spruce, orange, apple, weak grapefruit, ok malts. Medium bodied with a nice soft bitter finish. I like this and with a bit more work this could become their flagship brew.

Jul 19, 2008 A strongly hoppy nose. On tasting, a mild hops start becomes stronger but not overbearing at the end. A mild body keeps this beer light and refreshing.

May 5, 2007 Golden-amber colour. Sadly, the head doesn’t hold either to itself nor to the glass. Fruity, woody hop aroma (pine, pamplemousse) with slight crystal/caramel malt as well. The body is a bit thin (again!), but it works better with the Pale, unleashing a lot of hoppy dryness. Almost leathery, piney, pamplemousse & dalandan citrus. The backing malts are still there, with a breadcrusty accent.

Apr 22, 2007 Updated: May 6, 2007Went back two weeks later and had a full pint. Excellent beer. Some would class it as a IPA.
Stu said that this had smoothed out from initial samples. Dark gold. Rich hop spice nose. Strong hop flavour. Their best beer IMO. Good malt balance. A sample glass is simply not enough.
