R + B are a top drawer brewery. Everything I’ve had from them has been spectacular. Execution on the balance between hops & juice is just superb. Blood orange, grapefruit, dank, west coast milky mouthfeel. A sensation. Neighborhood cat. #catsOFuntappd

Pours milky, fluorecent yellow. medium sized, very creamy white head. Scent is stonefruit, dense citrus. Taste is sharp, bit bitter, spicy hops - towards hopburn, but not quite. Woody, peppery aroma of the hop. bit herbal as well. dense citrus remains. Fairly creamy body.

Can from Chris M: pours hazy with white head. Aroma is juicy grapefruit and hints of pine with some light dankness. Taste is sweet, very low bitterness, mellow tang. Quite good.

Can, by way of a trade. Packaged three weeks ago. Hazed, pale gold. Fine, lasting, lacing, white head. Looks far removed from the pic in the description. Nose has peach stone. Peach and apricot flesh. Pink grapefruit. Pine needle. Ripe orange. Taste is sweet and juicy, with a soft, estery, pithy citrus bitterness. Smooth and silky mouthfeel. Low carbonation. Creamy, in a word. Finish is pithy and juicy bitter. Disappeared.

Can shared in Hackney - cheers to Tipple. Pours hazy gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds peach, nectarine, melon, orange. Medium sweet flavour with mild rindy bitterness, rich papaya, pear, melon, mango. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming finish, juicy, a little dank, fresh smoothie of tropical fruits. Great stuff.

Chez Smith bottleshare. Thanks to Tips for the can. Light haze on this gold beer, thin pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Good bouncy citrus, mild spice. Little citrus peel. Some fairly obvious diacetyl in the shape of Carnation Milk burns off reasonably quidkly but leaves a touch of caramel. A mixed bag.
