Old rating from 03-10-15 - Tasted at the Jersey CAMARA beer festival. Pours a golden orange colour with a white head. Aromas of fruity & spice. Tastes of sweet biscuit with a fair amount of malt, leading to pine & lots of hoppy overtones. Aftertaste is a good medium bitter finish. Overall a reasonable beer but a little heavy on the hops.

Bottle on 712 heading South, thanks to Timmy, 26/02/23. Clear golden with a just off white crown. Nose is pale malts, toasted grains, hint of orange, hedgerow. Taste comprises toasted grains, hint of melon, grass, herb, faint orange, light breads. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with modest hop bitterness. Passable pale ... lacks flavour and hop presence.

Clear golden colour with lasting fluffy head. There's a nice hop profile with a balance of piney base notes, well rounded floral notes and a lighter citrus peel element.
