(Bottle) Golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of orange peel, treacle-toffee, crisp-bread, apricots, honey, pineapple and some resin. Fruity, malty, hoppy taste with crisp-bread, honey, orange peel, toffee, apricots, pine needles, mango and a generous citric/floral bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a slight sweetness. Lots of fresh hops, still really well balanced and not so aggressive. Very nice.
