Bottle shared on Level 42 14/11/2016. Many thanks to Scopey. A clear golden orange coloured pour with a lasting sticky loose white head. Aroma is light biscuity malts, hint of caramel and piney hop. Little orange rind on the nose. Flavour is composed of sticky piney hop, caramel, tangerine, marmalade. Palate is medium sweet, moderate carbonation. Ok a little old school.
