Cask @ Volunteer Arms, GBBF 2011. Pours a pale amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity fresh orange aroma. Fruity sweetish orange flavor with hoppy bitter hints. Has a fruity malty orange finish.

Cask (gravity) - The Fat Cat Brewery Tap/The Cider Shed, Norwich. Clear, light amber with a loose bubbly-creamy white head atop leaving a soapy lace. Nice, fresh & juicy tangerine aromas with some hints of peach. Good tangerine again on the tongue with a zesty lemon note and a marmalade bitterness in the finish. Light to medium body, mostly soft mouthfeel and a lignering juicy finish. The addition of orange is interesting & distinct whilst remaining well integrated with the beer as a whole.

Cask, Market Porter. It does what it says on the label, Seville Orange flavour, not to my taste, half was enough

On tap at Craft Beer. Clear amber beer, good white head. Light semi dry palate. Nice rich marmalade seville orange. Fruity and tangy with a pithy peel bitterness. Finishes dry with a little fresher orange coming to the fore. Finishes dry. A bit different from you run of the mill insipid English fruit beers. Great depth of flavour here, rich. Good stuff!

Gravity cask at the Peterborough BF. Amber with an off white lacey head. As expected, loads of fruit and a distinct dollop of marmalade. Class effort at a fruit beer.

Cask at Craft Beer Co, London on 16th August 2011. Crystal clear copper with thinning white head and scant lacing. Strong orange zest and grassy grpefruity hop envelop mouth. Excellent balance of sweet orange blus bitter zest in the aftertaste. I liked the slight mustiness and soft mouthfeel. Rated as a novelty.

On cask at Thomson’s Bar. Pours a dark golden colour with a thick white head. Amazing fresh orange aroma with barley and alcohol notes. They have perfectly captured that bitter orange character of a good Chinotto wthout the cola. Lovely juicy orange character, not too sweet. Lovely oily mouth-feel. Lingering bitter orange notes with only a slight soapiness to finish. What a fantastic beer!

Cask @ Craft Beer Co. Pours copper, with a medium off white head. Tangy orange, toffee, sweet caramel, and some sherbert. Tangy bitterness and a medium mouthfeel

Cask handpull at Craft Beer. Copper clear with lasting white head. Some sherberty hop some orange. A little soapy. But i liked the hop and sherbert.

Resin and marmalade in the aroma. Dark copper colour. Burnt orange and tea in palette. Wonderful after taste dry bitter hoppiness. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
