Hazy golden color with a fine white top. Ok lacing. Nice intensity in the aroma. Medium (+) body and a fine carbonation level. Easy to drink. Ok bitterness. Grapefruit hoppy, fruity, yeast and pine in the flavor. Nice tasty beer.

El Dorado, Azacca and Equinox hops. Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, decent fine crispness. Mild minerals. Smooth light malts, mild creamy sweetness. Peppy orange and tangerine. Mild spice. Good pine. Little juicy mango. Light crisp finish. Orange peel and pine linger on. Comes together very well indeed, very drinkable.

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Daniel. Pours hazy orange-gold with a creamy, white head. Nice aroma, dry pale malts, melon, orange rind. Light-medium sweet flavour with tangerine, orange, a little piney and rindy bitterness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with light resin, pine, moderately juicy citrus, a little flinty minerality. Solid.

Keg at Waterloo Tap. It pours cloudy yellow - good with a thick white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, breast, pineapple chunks, mango, peach, candied fruit and five alive fruit juice. The taste is crisp, sweet, juicy action, slick, pineapple, nectarine, peach, tinned fruits, green, grassy, dank edge, hint of alcohol and brioche with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Juicy and fresh. Good fun.
