Bomber. Curious Hop, Otley. Clear, dark copper colour. Thin, dense, lasting, beige head. Fruity, malt loaf aroma, specifically Soreen! Some gingery spice. Orange rind. A bit fudgy. Taste is soft sweet. Light bitter. Light dry. Nice balance. Smooth, airy mouthfeel. Finishes chewy sweet. Orange zest bitter right on the close. An oddity, but easy enough drinking.
