Hazy yellow beer, thick white head, lots of sediment. Smell of grassy citrus, yeasty and bready too. Taste is dry, bitter and grassy. Just a touch of the sweet, bready flavour you get from a some Belgian beers. Slightly spiced / herby, dry finish. The slightly harsh finish means it's very much one to take your time with, as does the strength. It's pretty good.

Draft. An amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, oranges, and hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, spices, hops, and citrus fruits, leading to a bitter finish.

330ml bottle from Beer Central, Sheffield - Hazy orange body, not much in the way of a head. Nose is some kind of citrus, I also got some salt and pepper crisps as well. Taste did nothing for me, but again the citrus was there in abundance. Not sure what they were trying to pull off, but it didn’t work.
