Huge yellowish tinted head, shards of lace, over faintly hazy, copperish orange beer, finely and well-carbonated. Frutiy, aromatic hops, caramel, rosewater, touch of cat’s pee. Warming especially, pure orangezeste, orangeconcentrate. Bitter, hoppy flavour; straw retronasal Bit dusty, somewhere Still citrus/orange, but nowhere as in the nose, even retronasal - there the cat’s pee is again traceable. Dry-bitter MF, on the verge of astringency, hopoily. Medium bodied, good carbonation. More than decent.

330ml bottle @ Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours deep amber, good off-white head. Aroma is citrus, toffee. Taste is biscuity malt, toffee malt and light citric pith. Not blowing me away I have to say.

At Borefts. IPA with cream white, lacing, stable head and deep gold colour, as good as clear. Aroma of strawberry, fresh orange, some pine, mango, flowers; clean, crisp onset with tropical fruit accents (mango, pineapple), smooth and somewhat oily mouthfeel on a light malt sweetish base, ending in a long, spicy, grapefruity, deeply bittering, dry finish. Well-balanced example of the style.
