bottle - Pours light copper with a thin white head. It has a very good hop aroma with citrus and pine notes. The flavor is of course quite hoppy, but is rather well balanced too. The citrus comes through nicely. Carbonation is light. The body struck me as a little thin. Crisp hops lingers pleasantly in the finish.

Bottle, big thanks to Ian (Harrisoni) for this, cheers mate. Pours orangey amber colour with large white head that also looked as though it had highlights of orange. The aroma was a bit soft fruity with apricot or peach noticaeable. Some citrus on first taste but it was soon sweetened and the citrus was more orangey citrus. There was some lingering bitterness and maybe a bit of cape gooseberry, in fact the bitterness whilst not overpowering remained throughout although it was more than kept in check by the sweetness.
