Bottle from ’Jacks’ Westholme Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon Tuesday 19th February 2013 consumed Thursday 20th Feb 2013 Pours warm gold with white head, little bit hazy maybe. The nose is a little maltier than I expected but backed up with a good citrussy hit. Taste is fruity loads of citrus but with a good solid maltiness, really good backbone to this beer, good balance. Hoppy and bitter but not too much and leading all the way to a nice steady dry finish. Good beer! A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

Bottle. Bronze with a small head.Clear and hoppy with a medium body. Slightly bitter finnish. Another good one from this brewery. .

Bottle at home in London. Pours mostly clear, dark gold with a moderate, frothy white head. Ripe citrus on the nose, some wood, drying pine, lightly toasted bread. Light to medium sweet flavor, somewhat dry, with semi-sticky pine, some dry orange and grapefruit, sun-kissed grass, background bread. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly resinous finish with dry pine, faint earth, a bit of gritty yeast, toasted grass and light bread, some rindy citrus. A very pleasant APA, but it needs a bit more cohesiveness to take it to another level.

Bottle from Utobeer. Well hopped nose with candyapple, melon, caramel and mango. Pours a deceptively lifeless amber but you can coax a head out of it. Flavour is a surprise - interestingly balanced between malt and hops with a start that is very biscuity sweet malt but developing through the draft and into the finish into a dryer, hoppier bitterness with notes of lemon peel, spruce resin and some honey. Very pleasant.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a hazy amber with a thick white head. The aroma is strong hops with citrus notes. The flavour is medium to strong bitter, with some slightly sour grapefruit notes and a hint of pepper and dry hops on the palate. The bitterness lingers for quite a while in the aftertaste. A superb pale ale and extremely refreshing.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden amber. Aroma of citrus and fresh hops. Light body, some caramel malt flavor but the citrus and grapefruit hop flavors dominate. Delicious hoppy pale ale.

Quite excited for this one, I’ve been eager to see what these guys can brew. This is the first of their limited edition beers. Pours a light amber/deep gold colour, with a nice head on it. Smells strongly hoppy, but not too pungently overwhelming. Very nice. Tastes excellent, very hoppy and bitter, but still well balanced and drinkable. Reminds me of Brewdog but nicer. Can taste those American hops, very citrusy. Overall they’ve done a really lovely job. I could drink this beer all day, good job I got two.

Bottle at home (thanks to Jim Essex for the IPT) 31/12/12. Hazed mid amber with a thin white head that soon clears to the edge. Nose is pale malts, touch of caramel, pine, hops, bitter orange, a little subdued compared to other beers from TR. Taste comprises bitter orange, touch of grapefruit, caramel malt, pine, grass, hops, mineral tones. Medium bodied with fine carbonation, bitterness in the finish. Decent enough APA but not their best work to date!

Bottle from Stirchley Wines, Birmingham. Clearish amber pour with a small bubbly white head. Gently fragrant nose with notes of citrus and honey. Similarly sweetish flavour with more fruit and some tidy hoppage present. Decent balance. and a nicely dry, lingering bitter finish. Surely the best thing to come out of Newport since Goldie Lookin Chain!

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 24/09/2012. Slightly hazy gold with an off-white head. Sweet, with some citrus fruit and grassy hops. Good.
