Bottle 50cl. (Tasting at SaintMatty, thanks) A light hazy orange golden colour with a medium high, good lacing, white head. An aroma of malt, caramel, hosp, orange and grapefruit. The taste is medium sweet and medium bitter. A medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation and a medium long duration.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
500ml bottle. Deep, rich orange with foamy, soapy dissipating head. Fantastic juicy mandarin citrus nose, deep and inviting, rich fruit. Taste is right up there with best dipa, a bit dry after an admirable juicy hopping. Definitely trying for a big funky sour, juicy western-ipa. Not quite there, back end is too dry-bitter. But awesome up front, very tasty.

Bottle from Jacks, Westholme Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon, Dec 2011 consumed at Baltic Wharf Campsite, Bristol in Frank (camper) 26.12.11 Hazy amber colour with a slim white head. fuzzy, furry wonderfully hoppiness, juicy and tasty with bags of fruitiness.

Bottle at Nate’s Birthday Bash. It pours light hazy golden, with a decent white head. The nose is tangerine, kumquat, orange sherbet and floral. The taste is tangy orange fruit (in particular kumquat and tangerine), wood, floral, pine and grass, with a solid bitter-dry finish. Medium body, average carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. A very clean and crisp IPA. Nice.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
500ml bottle, Coppers, Ncl. Really citrusy pine-laced aroma, a creamy, full-flavoured bitterness, with quite spirit-like strains in the nose when drinking. The palate is soft and fruity and makes for really easy drinking. The warmth is apparent in the chest, with a great lemon finish that lasts well.
