Bottle - Sweet grapefruit that finishes with tropical fruits and sweet malts. Hazy gold with a decent white head. Candied orange, pineapple, grapefruit pith and resin. The resin overwhelms although is balanced with the sweetness. Mouthfeel is rich and appropriate and alcohol is well masked. Overall, decent but I had higher hopes.

650 ml bottle. Pours an orange amber with light head. Aromas of oranges, resin, pine and toffee. Nice, smooth, and fruity. Flavors of toffee and pine, with light citrus and resinous notes. Bitter finish but not overly so. Well done.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a hazy golden with a large white head. Aroma is very juicy, full of citrus hops, loads of resin, fresh oranges and a big caramel malt backbone. Flavour is extremely potent, full of truckloads of resinous hops, citrus, a little grapefruit, and a nice sweetness from the caramel malt. Oh man this is well-balanced and decadently flavoured. Man, I hope they make more of this. Would be a shame if this stopped as a forgotten one-off. Finishes on quite a high bitterness, but with loads of freshness and flavour. Awesome stuff.
