Pours hazy amber with a quickly fading head.Nose shows funky Brett, horseblanket notes, soft overripe fruit, and subtle sweet spices.Flavours include musty woody notes, more Brett, and a bit of bready malt.Excessively carbonated.

From a 330ml bottle on 13/11/2017. Pours a hazy, murky golden with a small head. Has a bright strong fruity aroma, with a touch of spice. The flavour is quite odd. Strongly fruity and quite sweet orange, apricot and nectarine, with a slight tang, but few hos to speak of. Finishes a bit dull and muddy. Quite full bodied with moderate carbonation.On one level, quite interesting, but the final result is a beer that just lacks sufficient bite. I assume this is meant to be a NEIPA?

Bottle. Hefe-like dull orange with a white head that's soon a coat but doesn't ever quite disappear. Does indeed smell like marmalade oranges, some slightly caramelised in the pan. Some funk, nectarines and spices. Fruity and slightly sweet with zesty and pithy citrus until a dry bretty-twiggy finish. Not much bitterness. Nice beer, but perhaps doesn't quite offer enough for its ABV and isn't much like an IPA.
