Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Cloin. Pours unclear orange with a creamy off-white head. The nose has a bit of citrus, mellow dusty grains, nips of tangerine. Light to medium sweet flavor with more grainy bread, a little marmalade, apricot, pine. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Light resinous at the close, more grains, rindy citrus, minerals. Bitter aftertaste. Not bad.

Taste comprises bitter orange, citric peel, apricot jam, toasted bread. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with earthy hop bitterness. Decent enough fayre.

Bottle at 6% thanks to Colin. It pours cloudy burnt orange with a thick yellow - white head. The nose is fresh, bright orange, peachy, sherbet, some rye spice, bready malts and candy. The taste is crisp, bitter, bready maltage, spice rye, orange peel, alcohol hit and earth with a dry, spiced finish. Medium body and moderate + carbonation. Pretty solid stuff. Nice aroma.

Bottle picked up from Beer Gonzo, Earlsdon, Coventry, Sunday 9th November 2014 Pours murky amber with a little white film atop. Buzzy citus in mouth, sweet but slightly underipe orangesleaving a fuzzy, furry, pithiness (but sweeter than pithy) across tongue and roof of mouth. I like this its got an ever so slightly rough around the edges quality but. Lovely bitterness, marvellous. A7 A3 T8 P4 Ov17. 3.9

Persistent slow gusher. Hazy amber beer, big pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and dry, good fine carbonation. Light caramel malts, a little rye spice. Soap! Light marmalade and citrus on the back end as well some emerging malt cream sweetness. Finishes light. Would be good if not for the infected soapy note. Second infected bottle on the trot from this brewer. Not impressed.
