42nd Floor Bottleshare. Thanks to Scopey for this one. Hazy amber beer, thin pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Orange and orange peel. Light vanilla. Madeira blends in well. Trace of pine. Ends with mild woody bitterness. Nice beer but I think would have benefitted from some dry hopping or blend back with fresh IPA.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Scoopy. Pours hazy orange with a bubbly white head. Piney hops in the nose, a little wood, ripening citrus. Light sweet flavour, with bready pale malts, faint caramel, jammy citrus. Light to medium bodied, a little flat. Finishes with soft woody dryness, orange rind. So so.

Bottle shared at level 42. It pours hazy deep golden with a small bubbly white head. The aroma is sweet, tangy, very fruity, red grape, sweet vanilla, oaky, jammy berry, orange marmalade, mango, passion fruit and a touch of micro chips on the backdrop. The taste is dry, sweet, sticky, mango, passion fruit, a touch watery, bitter, tannins, oaky, vanilla, mild acidity and boosty wine with a soft finish. Light - medium body and soft carbonation. Aroma is nice, but the taste is a touch watery. Interesting though.

Bottle split at L42, thanks to Scoopy, 14/03/17. Hazed golden orange with a decent off white head that soon collapses. Nose is wooded, madeira tones, straw, spice, grains, citric peel, light funky vibes, melon. Taste comprises tarte citric peel, wooded notes, spice, lemon drizzle, farmhouse notes, funk, more maderia. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok if a little weird at times ... not one I could drink too much of!
