From a 330ml bottle on 13/11/2011. Pours a deep golden with a medium head which disappears quickly. Has a quite a distinct fruit aroma with peach, apricot and mandarin evident. The flavour is primarily citrus fruit with lots of lemon and more mandarin, which contribute a sharp bitterness at the back. An unusual and interesting beer which doesn’t come together for me, but worth a go if you’re looking for something a bit different.

Pours dark amber with a large, lasting, creamy head and lots of lacing.Nose shows tropical fruit, honey, orange blossom and some grassy notes (something I usually find in dry-hopped brews, i suspect theres not difference in the process with wet-hopping). The malt is really interesting, very full-on honey but also loads of caramel and a whack of diacetyl.Similar mix of flavours, with honey, resinous hops, toffee, diacetyl and oatmeal (although perhaps I wouldn’t have noticed it if it wasn’t in the name). Finishes weakly with a mild bitterness.

Bottle from farmers’ market. Clear pale amber with a thick white head. Aroma of spices, citrus, passionfruit. Taste has light honey and lots of hop aromatics - Galaxy I’d guess. Modest bitterness. A little soap in the finish. Didn’t pick up any oats. Delicate hop-driven ale.
