Keg at Deya Taproom. Murky golden orange with a small white head. Juicy fruity aroma, lots of stone fruits, apricot, and some subtle coconut notes. Massive juicy stone fruit taste, mainly apricot, grapefruit, slightly dank, again some subtle coconut flavour too, light sweet, low bitterness. Medium body, smooth mouthfeel, soft carb. Excellent.

Can from Bottle Baron. Murky golden body with a dense white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of biscuit, coconut and dried orange peel. Flavour of bubblegum, dried apricot and orange rind. Medium body with a creamy texture. Soft fizz. Smooth, sweet and fruity. Very nice, although the copy on the inner label needed proofread before printing - typos ahoy.

Can, picked up at the brewery. Typically hazy, pale, orange gold. Slim ring of white head. Nice legs and lacing. Nose has peach stone and mango up front. Light, ripe citrus, particularly mandarin and orange. Some pink grapefruit. Big juice here, but not without some green hop leaf, and some oaty milk. Taste has a slightly astringent bitterness. Tangy and pithy, mostly. Medium body. Oily hop. Soft carbonation. Green and twangy bitter finish. It ainโt lacking hops, but as it is, itโs not too well joined up yet.
