3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20Bottle at home (Brewery puchase in Sep’12 label states 5.2% ABV) - 23/09/12.
Pours a hazy light orange with a very thin white head that soon forms a small lake.
Sweet tropical fruit tones on the nose, mandarin, apricot, nice pine whiff, hops and a little light caramel also on the nose.
Taste follows the nose, slightly sharper bitter flavours than the sweeter nose suggest, mineral tones.
Medium bodied, light carbonation with a bitter sweet finish.
Decent!

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
2012-11-02. Crisp golden orange body, small quick white head. 3+ Odd hoppy aroma, leafy notes, something strange I can’t place. 6+ Flavour has muted leafy hop profile, odd accents, mild malt, lingering vegetation in the finish. 6+ Average bodied palate. Pleasant fruity character comes out as it warms, but just okay overall. Bottle BBNov17 shared by HogTownHarry
