Cask at Sanctuary, Liverpool. It pours hazy golden - amber with a medium foamy white head. The aroma is floral, zingy, some bubblegum, Turkish delight, green and herbal. The taste is dry, rather bitter, quite floral, rose, green, herbal, boozy kick, Turkish delight and some spice. Medium body and soft carbonation. Rather interesting stuff. A sorachi beer I don't actually mind - what a surprise!

Amber, very hazy, frothy white head

Taste of citrus zest, grapefruit, orange, very fruity malts, slightly spicy, lots of juicy citrus, excellent flavour
Palate - Medium cab and body, good texture, fairly bitter hops with sweet malts, alcohol well hidden, slightly powdery which is possibly yeast. Finish of juicy fruits, bitter zest, bitter orange
