Panda thanks to Wingman. A light haze on the orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin feeling pale malts, a pleasant enough sweetness imparted. Hops bring a mild hop spice nibble and light cooling pine. Reasonably juicy citrus hop fruits, slightly ripe citrus. Touches of stone fruits and tropical fruits. Light finish. Plenty to like here but somehow it never really grabbed me, perhaps a bit more hop brightness.

Draught at Martin Bros Micropizzeria, Leicester. Light gold, slightly greenish in the right light, hazy with a thin white head. Ambrosia aroma with grapefruit and melon popping through with a malty backbone. Sweet initial taste holds some impressive bitterness on he back end. Touches of coconut in the finish. Medium body, softly carbonation. Very very nice.

Becher at shelter is classic yellow pulp. Lacey white head. Nose pops with citra and some fresh cream. Oats and melon and honey comb. Floral. Flavor is nicely balanced and the hop profile really sings. Orange and herbs, papaya, some marmalade. Creamy off dry finish.

Thanks Brian soft, pillowy, super juicy with loads of peach, mango, and just enough zest to balance it out. Well crafted beer.

Cloudy bright orange/orange-brown body, medium tight cream head. Nose juice (papaya and berries) and dank elements. Body bright, creamy, and tart, with moderate sweetness, mostly citrus (including lime) and tropical (papaya) juice, with onion undertones. Solid.

Sample at the brewpub. Hazy bright golden color with a medium white head that recedes steadily to a film. Sticky strings of lace. Cloudy golden-orange color with a medium thick white head that dissipates steadily to a film. Strings of lace. Aroma of citrus, oniony hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of citrusy hops, green onion and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a lingering citrusy hop aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

Draft at HOMES. Pours a glowing, hazy gold with a finger of off-white foam that lingers. Arugula, pithy citrus and turnip greens on the nose. Green pineapple, mineral and citrus zest on the palate. Dry with lingering stone fruit. Great bitterness to balance out the tropical fruit.
