Tap at Roundhouse Wanchai. Deep amber pour with very dense white head. Aroma is sharp bitter hops with some sweet biscuit malt. Taste is very sharp effervescent hoppiness - somehow "air hopped" seems apt. Lasting bitter bite. The tart white wine flavor seems like Nelson Sauvin. Good light but flavorful pale ale/IPA

On tap at Beer DeLuxe Melbourne, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, some light resins, a little metallic quality and biscuity malt. Flavour is fairly astringent, with floral and citrus hops, and biscuity malt on the back. Fairly astringent on the finish. Not the best balance. Okay.

500ml bottle, from The Wine Seller, Wolverhampton. Pours clear gold, white head. Aroma is big resin, pine, must. Taste is overly hoppy, resinous, nail varnish, marmalade with a robust bitterness. A bit too hoppy and imbalanced for me.

Bottle thanks to Fergus. It pours clear amber with a medium, foamy white head. The nose is soft, juicy, light peach, lemon sherbet, sweet bread and mild toffee. The taste is crisp, bitter, toasty grain, caramel/toffee, piney resin, light alcohol and a touch of hope astringency with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A bit restrained methinks.

Bottle shared at a CBC Clerkenwell tasting - London. Cheers to Fergus. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. The aroma has notes of rindy citrus, orange and pale bread. Light-medium sweet flavor, with lightly juicy citrus fruits, more orange, some tangerine, lightly bitter pine. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with rindy orange, pale bread crust, subtle pine. Good stuff overall.
