Sampled draft @ BAF 2014. Thank you! Hazy golden, very creamy head. Smell is very fruity, little zest. Very thick and creamy fruity hoppy, quite bitter, lots of peel, touch caramel. Creamy body; Nice brew, could be more it seems but this is very nice already as it is.

Hazy amber with fluffy white head. Lots of aroma hops with pine, flowers, mango, tangerine and grapefruit. Roasted malty with light herbal and yeast. Tart fruity with long bitter middle and finish and light underlying sweetness. Prickly carbonation. Nice balanced IPA and very drinkable.

Bottle at the Watford tasting 26/07/14. Thanks to Leighton. Translucent orange with a lively off white head. Aroma is wheat floral with light honey, slightly stale. Flavour is light wheat, orange, floral. Palate is dry and grainy. Lingering earthy solid bitterness. Highish carbonation. Nice stuff.

Bottle shared in Watford. Pours hazy gold with a creamy, off-white head. The nose has bread, orange meringue, tangerine. Light-medium sweet flavor with slight pine needles, low bitterness, some further tangerine. Light bodied with average carbonation. Decent balance to finish, some bready malts, further citrus meringue, pine needles. Nothing special but perfectly drinkable.

Hazy amber beer, good fluffy white head. Palate is airy and minerally crisp. Light malt, whisper of cream. Mild pithy orange and grapefruit. Finishes light and dry with a mild bitter linger and a touch of lemon. It’s a bit hollow and slightly tired tasting but overall okay.
