3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Golden to orange colour with a big, foamy, white head (this dissipates quite quickly, but leaves a decent enough bit of froth. Aroma is hoppy but a bit bready or yeasty. Flavour is a nice balance of hops and malt; not too sweet and with a bit of citrus. Great texture, oily with a bit of fizz. Good beer.

Bottle at home. It pours clear amber with a thick yellow-white head. The nose is manure, toast, grass, zesty citrus, resin and light vomit. The taste is soft orange, tangerine, apricot, pine, resinous, bitter, metallic aspect and grass with a long, bitter-dry finish. Medium body and lively carbonation. I am not convinced by the smell, but it tastes pretty good.

[cask at SRAF’12] Slightly hazy golden amber, bubble white head. Lovely aroma of lemon and lime citrus, sweet toffee. Not sure if this is dry-hopped or not, but it smells and tastes like it. Great hop presence – citrus and grass on the taste, with some slightly resinous notes. Long dry finish. Impressive [28062012]
