Can on the train back from Bongohame, 20/05/17. Hazed marmalade orange with a decent beige head. Nose is pissy citrus, straw, damp hay, light spice. Taste comprises tarte orange, melon well past its best, light white peppery spice, tangy citric shreds, light barnyard. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with a moderately puckering good finale. Ok quaffable sour.

Bright clear gold beer, good cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, decent carbonation. Tangy orange - lemon. Mild floralness. Dry tangy finish. Not getting a lot of hop here, just generic fruity sourness.

Bottle. Little Leeds Beer House. Cloudy, gingery orange. Thick, lasting, foamy, off white head. Aroma of overripe, fusty mandarin and peach. Pretty dank. Some notes of pine sap. Has some medicinal, muscle rub type thing going on, too. Taste is light sour, with a minerally, dry edge. Clean mouthfeel. Soft sour finish, with a little malty sweetness.

330ml bottle @ Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours hazy orange, white head. Aroma is peach and citrus. Taste is crisp, tart with an initial burst of lemon curd, mellowing to calm citrus tone. Great sour.
