Bottled. Hazy orangeish golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is grassy bitterness with some zest and mild earthy tones. Flavour is zesty, citrusy, some slight yeast with mild bitterness too. Refreshing.

Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines, Sheffield. Hazy, dark orange. Thin, dense, messy, white head. Nose has baked citrus. Light pine. Some buttery malts. Some blueberry hop. Taste has some sweetness, turning resinous bitter. Great mouthfeel. Soft and foamy, with good depth. Finish has some sweetness, and resinous bitterness. Ok, but not in the same league as the Hepcat I had just before.

Bottle at home in London -sourced from Caps and Taps. Pours hazy, dark orange with a creamy, slightly off-white head. The nose holds ripening citrus, jammy orange, lightly toasted pale malts, grains, pine, suggestions of berries. Medium sweet flavour with a pleasant wholegrain bread character, some ripening berries, more jammy citrus, oily pine bitterness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with moderate piney resin, more wholegrain bread, more berries, very light caramel, ripe orange. This isn’t a very ’pale’ ale, although for what it is, it is enjoyable.
