Keg at CBR 2018. Pours unclear orange with a bubbly, off-white head. The nose holds tangy citrus, grainy malts, tangerine. Medium sweet flavourbwih some white grape, more jammy citrus. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with some golden raisins, more grape accents, pale bread, mild rindy bitterness. Really interesting.

Keg at GH. It pours clear yellow - gold with a massive white head. The aroma is fresh, straw, grassy, earth, wood and spice. The taste is dry, more bitter than expected, straw, grass, earthy, lemon peel, stone fruits, cracker, hay and spice with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Works better than expected. Not bad.
