Bottle split at CC2, 05/03/16, big thanks to the absent Simon for this one. Hazed golden orange with a decent off white cap. Nose is tangerine, straw, light notes of earthy hop. Taste comprises big chalky mineral strokes, citric tinged straw, orange pith, toasted malts. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with earthy hop bitterness. Decent enough offering.

Bottle thanks to Simon at the 2016 Cotteridge Convention. It pours murky amber with a thick white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, peach, tangerine, mango, brioche and bubblegum. The taste is a bit more bland…. crisp, bitter, minerals, straw, grainy, cracker, light spice and touch of orange peel. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Ok, but could be done with more punch.

Bottle shared at the Cotteridge Convention - 2016 edition. Pours cloudy gold with a big, creamy white head. Muted aroma, just light tangerine, rind, pale bread. Light sweet flavour with forward minerality, background bitter rind. Light bodied with average carbonation. Strong flinty minerals in the finish, which pretty much neuters any other characteristics. So so.
