A Belgian style pale ale with rich, biscuit maltiness, slight fruitiness and a spicy, herbal, hop flavour. An English ale yeast was used, which left a moderate sweetness in the beer.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. This one is 5.8% and the label is slightly different, but I figured it was a re-work of roughly the same beer. Appearance - golden orange with a light haze and a nice fluffy head. Nice natural carbonation going on. Nose - oranges and resin. Taste - bitter orange and a little herbaceous. More resin. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long bitter finish. Overall - good balance between having enough flavour and drinkability.

Bottle at home. It pours hazy orange - amber with a medium white head. The nose is very bready, spicy, cereal, barnyard, wood and sweet biscuit. The taste is bitter-sweet, digestive biscuit, bread, caramelised sugars, light alcohol boost, cereal and some spice with a dry, bitter - sweet finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Decent old school ipa vibe. Doesn’t knock your socks off, but enjoyable enough anyhow.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Hazy amber body with an off-white head. Lively carbonation. Nice lacing. Aroma of pineapple, treacle and black cherry. Flavour of toffee, orange marmalade, earthy hops, nuts and honey. Medium body an oily mouthfeel. Soft fizz. An unusual beer - I think this would be even better on cask. It would be wildly off-brand but it would be fun to try a Luckie Ales turbo-hopped US-style IPA.
