Draft at the tap. Hazy light pale orange. Aroma is initially sweet and sugary before more bitter fruit and bitterer still herbal ans vinous notes crowd in. Flavourwise it's again initially sweet and fruitybwith a sugary sweetness. Then develops bitter stone fruit and resin. Slightly vinous and herbal edge. Light-medium bodied. Oily. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Noice.

Blimey, thatโ€™s a stunner. Gorgeous citrusy hop expression, lime, tangerine, oily peel, pine needles, sturdy pale malt backbone, balanced bitterness. Great condition. Well rounded finish, great depth, more citrus peel, soft pine. Wow.
