Bottle at home, 19/03/16. Hazed golden orange with a well appointed off White covering. Nose is big on orange wine gums, mango, sticky pine, red grapefruit, candyfloss. Taste comprises mango, papaya, sticky pine resin, grapefruit, Mandarin. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a juicy citric hop finale. Solid IPA, lots of flavour, if I had one criticism it is perhaps a touch sweet and I would prefer a slightly bitter edge.

Bottle at home, 17th March 16. Pours a cloudy deep amber with a good white head. Aroma is tropical fruit sweet marmalade, slight pine. Taste is full, tropical fruit, bitter citrus, pine resin, long bitter linger in the finish. Soft mouth feel, minimal carbonation. Delicious.

Bottle. Turner’s, Sheffield. Opaque, dark yellow. Good, dense, sticky, messy, white head. Nose has orange. Lemon. Hint of lime. Further notes of peach and strawberry. Behind that there is bready, oaty sweet malts. Taste is pretty sweet, with some fruity bitterness. Sweetness on the palate. A little dull, maybe. Finishes with more of that sweetness. Lacking in punchy hop.

Keg at BDSB - London. Pours hazy orange-gold with a white cream topping. The aroma is gorgeous, with loads of juicy citrus fruits, light dank pine, melon, tangerine. The flavour doesn’t follow quite as nicely although it’s still great, with some bready pale malts, more tangerine, orange, mango, low bitterness, slight pine. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Nicely balanced finish with more pale bready sugars, light pine, orange, meringue, cantaloupe. Great beer overall.

Keg at Brewdog Shep’s Bush. Bright translucent golden orange coloured pour with a lasting sticky white head. Aroma is juicy lemon with floral honeysuckle notes, hint of dank notes. Lovely complex aroma. Flavour is composed of light grains, hint of bready wheat grains, light dank notes, citrus lemon, juicy hop. Palate is medium light airy carbonation, drying finish. Very good.
