Brewed with Mosaic and Citra hops, this beer provides a smack of tropical fruit with balanced bitterness. Oats provide a full body to support the intensely hoppy flavour.

[33cl can from Westholme Stored, Goring. BBE 12-2019.] A bright pale amber pour with a fast fading white head; tropical fruit aroma; tropical fruit taste with lots of pineapple and mango, and a medium grainy body. Slightly sticky and sweet to finish.

Keg at Oxford Tavern, Kentish Town. No rebranded back to West Berks from Renegade. Spicy citrus aroma. Light amber. Foamy white head. Light-medium bitter. More quinine than citrusy, the aroma made me expect the latter. Light-medium bodied. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. Underwhelming. Other than some hoppy bite it's thin on every level. Slips down at least.

330ml bottle from Spotted Dog, Darlington. Orangey golden colour, white foam head leaving alittle lacing and tropical fruit hoppy aroma. Taste is malt caramel, alittle biscuit, with tangy fruity grapefruit hop bitterness. Light bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy light bitter finish. Quite drinkable

33cl can @ Shoreditch's weekly food market. Orange, col épais blanc crémeux. Arôme fin sur les agrumes - pamplemousse, petit côté fruit de la passion, fin malté dans un rappel anglais assez léger. Palais est fin malté, cara - ambre, fruité sur le pamplemousse, zesty avec un léger côté fleuri et pin. La base maltée reste agréable quoique plus prenante mais bien accompagnée par les houblons.

Draft at St Aldates. Pale golden with light wispy head. Light hoppy aroma, some citrus. taste is also more of the light hoppy notes, but as a whole, comes off as kind of weak.

Keg at St Aldates Tavern, Oxford, 19/05/18. Lightly hazed golden orange with a moderate off white cap. Nose is melon, straw, light buttery notes, pale malts. Taste comprises light orange, straw, toasted grains, melon, bread. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with faint hop bitterness. Pretty crap tbh ... other beers from these guys have been ok.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up at Craft Beer Rising 2018, London. Pours mostly clear gold with a frothy, pure white head. Crackery pale malts in the nose, some dried lemon peel, grass. Light sweet flavour, a little astringent, with grassy bitterness, hay, husky pale grains. Light bodied with average carbonation. Quite bitter in the finish, with a bit more astringency, more grain husk, crackers, lemon rind. Bitter aftertaste. Unbalanced. Mediocre.
