Keg @ Drink? Hebden Bridge. Golden-amber with a bubbly head. Hoppy and extremely dry tasting with some fruitiness.

Bottle from eebria shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours hazy orange gold with a thin white head. Aromas of pine and wood. Taste is a bit too bitter for me. Bit out of balance. Green plant stalks on the finish.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - cloudy orange with a nice lacy head. Nose - orange boiled sweets. Taste - bitter orange and light biscuit at the back. Palate - light to medium bodied with a dry middle section and a very finish. Overall - ok.

Matteo’s Ciao @ Craft Islington. Cask. Light haze on this gold beer, bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth with modest fine carbonation. Smooth malts, mildly sweet. Mild hop spice. Bitterish orange peel, touch of lemon. Light semi dry finish. Goes down easy.

Cask at CBC Islington, 20/02/17. Golden orange with a decent off white covering. Nose is pale malts, straw, melon, tangerine, grains. Taste comprises soft bread, melon, orange pith, caramel, straw. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying close with light hop bitterness. Sub par for style ... lacks hop presence.

Cask at Craft Islington. It pours clear golden - amber with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, sweaty, sugary, candied orange, sherbet, marmalade and brioche. The taste is initially smooth, then rather bitter, quite raw, resinous, mild astringency, pithy orange peel, straw, grass and peppery spice with a dry, raw finish. Medium body, soft carbonation and oily mouth feel. I like elements of this beer, but it comes across a bit too raw and bitter. OK anyhow.

Cask at CBC Islington - London. Pours clear gold with a fine, white foam head. Ple grains in the nose, some lemon peel. Light sweet flavour with harsh grassy bitterness, more lemon peel, husky grains. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with more harsh grassy bitterness, grains, citrus peel. So so. Could be better.

Bottle from the brewery, consumed at home Monday 20th February 2017 (another day drinking a beer on a normally non beery day off) Pours mid gold with a slight haze, white head atop. Streaky citrus, pithy, clean, fresh but runs to dryness quite swiftly. Really good IPA, crisp, lemony, really good. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8
