Malts: Munich Malt, Marris Otter
Hops: Ahtanum, Mosaic
Tasting Notes: An American hop powerhouse. Munich malts give undertones of caramel. The nose is a citrus-sweet mix. Not too bitter, not to sweet, zesty and fruity to the last drop.

Draft at the Great British Beer Festival 2014, Day 3 - London. Pours clear, bright gold with a foamy white head. Dry citrus character with notes of pale sugar, biscuits, herbal hops, hay. Citrus rind bitterness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Light sticky sweet finish with dirty hay bitterness, dried orange. Not bad.

From cask. Pours cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is peachy and light grapefruity. Bitter, fruity and slight citrusy. Toasted malty. Dry, bitter and lasting fruity.

GBBF Day 4. Cask. The great Harrisoni/madmitch76 walkabout. Almost clear gold beer, good off white head. Palate is crispy. Soft airy malts bring a little sweetness. Mellow white smoke. Touch of marmalade hops. Light dry finish. Not bad.

Sampled @ GBBF day 2. Clear yellow golden color, virtually no head. Smell and taste lightly malts, lightly tropical fruits, lightly bitter. Average body and carbonation. Hmm it’s ok.

Cask at the Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. Golden amber with a tight cream head; toffee aroma; thick and syrupy with a grainy body, some caramel, and an assertive dry spicy bitterness; leading to a long dry finish. A satisfying pint.

Cask-conditioned at the brewery tap, the Rising Sun, Frampton Cotterell, 18/4/2014. Deep gold with a decent, off-white head. Aroma of pineapple and tangerines with a touch of malty sweetness. Flavour was more of the same, with plenty of fruit up front, some biscuity malts and a dryish finish. Another good beer by an improving brewery.
