Bought July 2015 at Famous Liquors. Nice pour with a frothy whitish head over a bright, brassy beer. Exotic hops give this a slight nose of cinnamon or cardamon, perhaps some of that is from the rye in the malt. Nose is mostly spicy and bitter, with a slight hint of pine underneath. Mild hops altogether, and not a lot of sweetness is needed to give them some balance. Strikes out in a slightly different direction than most hoppy pale ales.

Bottle shared at CBC Clerks - London. Cheers, Dave! Pours hazy gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds faded out pine and crackery pale malts. Light-medium sweet flavor with some toasted sugars, grain, stale pine. Light bodied with average carbonation. Bitter finish with hints of ash, more old pine. Pretty shabby.

Bottle shared at Craft Beer Co. 10/09/2015. Thanks to The Wingman. Hazed golden / orange coloured pour with a halo of white head. Aroma is weird soy, grassy pine hop and caramel malts. Flavour is composed of dirty grassy hop, astingent and dirty, some caramel malts. Palate is grainy, highish carbonation. Lingering aggressive bitterness.

Craft Clerkenwell Bottle Share. Thanks to big Dave. Lightly hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and dry with mild fine carbonation. Light malts, modest sweetness. Mild hop skunk. Very mild hop spice and bitterness. Light dry finish. A bit ephemeral but okay.

Bottle thanks to the Wingman. It pours murky deep orange with a small off-white head. The nose is earthy, burnt pale grain, straw, light plastic, apricot and peach. The taste is bitter-sweet, alcohol, burnt plastic, grassy bitterness, toasted/charred grain, soap and some minerals. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Flawed and a bit messy. ’Tis a shame.

Bottle split at CBC Clerko, thanks to my Wingman, 10/09/15. Lightly hazed golden orange with a moderate off white covering. Nose is bready, light spice, earthy hops, melon, bitter orange pangs. Taste comprises melon, bread dough, citric tingle, bitter orange, dirty come earthy notes, caramel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Boring, offers nothing, hops almost non existent.

12oz bottle. Unfiltered orange-tan body. Foamy off-white head. A pretty tasty brew. Certainly has a respectable hop bill. The aroma isn’t that memorable but the beer itself has a lot of depth. The rye helps flesh out the malts, and melds pretty well with the orange, mango, persimmon tones. Pretty excellent beer, glad to have scooped up a sixpack of it.

Draft at Olympic. From notes. Loads of citrus with a decent dose of sweet caramel. Very good, I’m gonna have to make a trip down here.
