Bottle at home. Pours golden yellow, nose is floral, zesty, taste is lemon, orange.

Bottle from Grape & Grind, Bristol. Deep gold with a decent, white head. Aroma of citrus fruit and cereal malts with a strange hint of cocoa powder in the background. Flavour had a great deal of citrus with some solid malts and a dryish finish. Fine.

Cask at the Euston Tap, London. Pours clear yellow with a moderate, white foam head. Marmalade nose with ripe citrus and pine - fine. Medium sweet flavor with tangy citrus, melon, wet grass. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sticky finish with more tangy marmalade and orange. So many Arbor IPAs have this marmalade, ripe citrus character, and it really doesn’t do the beers any favors. Mediocre stuff. (2.9)

Cask at the Euston Tap, London. So I gave this beer another shake. Pours clear gold with a tight, creamy head. Enticing, juicy hop nose with citrus, ripe citrus and dry pine. Medium sweet flavor with ripe citrus, some grapefruit, grassy bitterness, fructose. Medium bodied with soft, creamy carbonation. Sticky finish, fairly resinous with some dry grass and lingering pine. Not bad, and certainly better than the last time I had this beer. (3.5)

On tap at the Euston Tap. Light haze on this gold beer. Little white head. Smooth dry palate. Mild carbonation. Nice hops - sweet start, a little orange and generic citrus. Turns a tiny bit sour and a little bitter. More tangy than anything. Creamy malt underneath. Semi dry finish.
