Tap East Collaboration Fest. Cask. Light haze on this paleish gold beer, small off white head. Palate is light and dry, mild fine carbonation. Very light malt base, dry. Nice punchy orange - grapefruit - tangerine hops, twist of lemon. Hop spice. Whisper of sherbet. Light dry finish. Mild bitter linger. Decent. After all the good beers the Bat nicked over the last couple of years they can consider this part 1 in a very long line of redemption.

Gravity dispense at Tap East’s open brewhouse fest, 22/08/14. Lightly hazed pale golden with a well appointed white cap of bubbles that stays for the show, lacing ensues. Nose is juicy hops, orange pith, mandarin, straw, light pine, touch of grapefruit, Taste comprises lightly skunked hop notes, citric tinged straw, orange pith, lemon rind. Medium bodied, moderat carbonation, semi drying close peppered with subtle hop bitterness. Decent hoppy affair for the ABV!

Light sweet flavor with hots of lemon peel, grapefruit, dry hay, pale bread, lots of dry pith, light spicy pine needles. Light bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Dry but well balanced to finish with lasting pithy lemon and grapefruit. Solid sessioner.
