Cask at Craft 100 - fall 2016. Pours clear gold with a foamy, white head. The nose has citric hops, lemon, tangerine, dry pale malts, a bit of rind. Light sweet flavour, with some pissy hops, rindy citrus, crusty pale malts. Light bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Finishes with nice juicy citrus, mild rindy bitterness, tangerine, melon, orange. Lovely hoppy gear.

Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 11th September 2016. Clear amber with off-White foam. Lush aroma of peach and tangerine. Rich fruitiness in-mouth with sweet citrus, peach against a nutty maltiness. Fine citrus finish, with rear-mouth bitterness. Zingy mouthfeel and a fair amount of body.

Cask at The White Hart, Bargate, Derbyshire, Friday 9th September 2016 in the company of Dad and Pauline. Gold in colour, clear as a bell, slim white head. Nose is quite citrussy lemony at first but after a while tend to think that itโs more grapefruit. Fruity with a good maltiness the grapefruit also much in evidence here, good tangy refreshing beer not too hoppy or bitter according to the locals, I tend to agree. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5

Very hazy amber beer, good cream colour head. Big hoppy nose of citrus, skunk and sharpish pine. Palate is airy and slight;ly soft but has good fine carbonation. Smooth light malts, mild creamy sweetness. Hops follow the nose but the flavour is not as intense. Decent marmalade and a little hop spice are added. Smooth pine and very mild skunk. Smooth finish. Hangs together well - more of a session IPA than a Golden I would think.

Bottle at Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Appearance - cloudy golden orange with a nice head. Nose - big orange and melon notes. A green floral backdrop. Taste - bitter oranges, light dry green stalky thing but not offensive. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - rich but very sessionable.
