Can. Clear bronze appearance with a medium head.Lively on opening with a hoppy warming bitterness.i usually avoid cans but this was rather nice.

UPDATED: SEP 26, 2011 Not very hoppy. Much more tasty almost frozen cold. Sorta bitter and very floral. Not bad.

The aroma is very hoppy with citrus, pine, and resin hops. There is malt here but not quite enough to balance. The appearance is amber gold with a big head for the style. The taste is like the aroma with a big hop presence but not overly bitter. The palate is smooth. Overall a good beer that is right for the style.

Can shared with friends. Clear amber pour with white head. Aroma has apricot, citrus and pine hops. Flavour is light and hoppy with citrus

35cl can shared with kermis. Thin white head. Slightly hazy golden blond pour. Pretty good!

Can, as pictured, got this from house of 1000 beers. Clear orangy brown. Smell is overly hoppy. Yes, quite processed and assertive hop flavors; pine tar, green citrus peels and the like. Dull soapy rude mouth coating palate of which very little co2 is present. On style. Same with the finish, long and bitter. Borders on double territory.

Can. Orange-amber color. Aroma of honey and hop, grapefruit, mandarin orange. Nice and mellow. Nicely hoppy flavor with warm malts and some metal. Good, long bitterness. Soft, smooth mouth. Hugely drinkable with a dry finish.

Can from Stirchley Wines and Spirits, Birmingham. Smells grrrrrreat. Nice orange colour, and pours from the can, with a nice foamy head. Delicious flavour of piney, sherbetty hops, with a pinch of pepper and jellied orange. Wonderfully balanced.
