Bottle from Beer Central, Sheffield. Thanks Lorna! It pours cloudy pale orange with a small white head. The nose is crazy juicy, packed full of tropical fruits, mango, passion fruit, tangerine, blood orange, peach, marmalade and Five Alive fruit juice. The taste is smooth, yet rather bitter, orange tango, grapefruit, mango, tropical fruit juice, creaminess, waxy citrus rind, grassy edge and pine with a citrusy finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. The aroma is really quite spectacular. Rather refreshing also. Nice work.

Bottle as Whole Pack Project No.1-Citra. Beer Central, Sheffield. Hazy gold. Minimal head. Subtle, but juicy, Citra hit. A bit chalky. Taste is moderate bitter, with a balanced sweetness. Very soft carbonation. Finishes creamy, vanilla sweet, with a pithy bitter linger. Chuggable.

The Fox. Tap takover. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry and with mild fine carbonation. Hops start with mellow skunk and move on to pithy citrus and a little orange peel. Whisper of peachy tropical fruits. Ssmi dry finish. Mild hop spice linger. Decent.

Cask at the Fox - London. Pours clear gold with a bubbly white head. The nose holds rindy citrus, some peel, grainy pale malts. Light to medium sweet flavor with lightly oily pine, semi-ripe orange, tangerine, lightly toasted pale malts. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Decent balance on the finish, some faint piney resins, more orange, pale bread, slight minerality. Solid.
