Level 42 Bottleshare. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry with modest carbonation. Nice light floral fruits with mild tangy lemon citrus. Peach and generic yellow fruits. Mild grapefruit and milder candy fruits. Smooth semi dry finish. Comes together very well, complex and interesting.

Bottle at home, 26th December 16. Fancied something a bit different, this fitted the bill. Pours a hazy dark straw beer. Aroma is complex, mango, tropical fruit, sweet, yeast. Taste is sweet, slight sour, mango, tropical fruit juice, barrel, vineous notes, bready yeast. The body and mouth feel is slick and rich for the ABV. Really pleasant and different.

Bottle at home. Rainbow Box ordered from Siren. Bitter resin, pine and orange zest aroma. A hazy amber/orange. Drops a point for the slighest of white heads. Not as bitter as I expected - more restrained. Hops and the orange. Spices, morphing into a salty aftertaste. Medium bodied. Long finish. Doesnโtbquite work for me, the aftertaste being the main issue.

Bottle shared in London - team effort. Pours unclear yellow-gold with a fluffy, white head. Nice aroma, with subtle funk, lemon peel, grapefruit. Light sweet flavour with nice citrus notes, light minerality, peach, melon, rindy citrus. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Good balance in the finish, with more peach, grapefruit, musty funk, old hay bales. Solid effort.

Bottle. Beer Stop, Dronfield. Pale gold. Milky haze. Barely a head. Nose has orange zest. Ripe orange pulp. Bright, grapefruit hop. Pink grapefruit juice. Vanilla ice cream malts. Background of the wine barrel. Touch of oak is lovely. Taste is sweet and fruity. Soft, grapefruit bitterness. Light tang. Soft fizz. Very smooth. Barrel comes through more on the finish, giving a lovely zing. Great stuff.

Bottle from Beer Gonzo webshop, Earlsdon, Coventry, part of the Rainbow Project box consumed at home cooking Lamb Shanks with tomato, chilli and honey and a Canellini bean mash Sunday 16th October. Pours a pasty whitey/yellowy gold colour with a white head. Fruity but with a clear citrus edge, cannot say I would have particularly note grapefruit but definitely citrus. Nice softness, fruity soft in the mouth, refreshing beer. A6 A3 T7 P3 Ov14 3.3
