Bottle shared at Columbus tasting 28/11/2018. Many thanks! A clear clean golden coloured pour with a halo of white head. Aroma is orange oil, grapefruit citrus, dusty base malts. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, dry bbase grains, orange rind, grassy citrus, simple hop, cereal, light sorachi. Palate is semi sweet, moderate carbaontion. Ok.

Level 6 Bottleshare. Thanks to Fergus for this one. Almost clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Thin malts, light sweetness. Floral mandarin. Touch of peel. Light finish. Light and a little thin but reasonably quaffable.

Yellow colour with light haze and soapy head. Aroma has some skunky notes. Also orange oil. Flavour has similar orange elements. It's fresh and clean tasting. Body is very light.

355ml bottle; BB 31st May 19. Drank at home on 22nd Nov 18 (Thanks Giving Day). My little bit of America! Orange amber body, white crown. Citrus lead in both the nose and taste with oranges to the fore. Pleased it wasn't too sweet.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at M&S. pours clear orange-gold with a foamy white head. Basic gear, has some rounded dry citrus fueit character coupled with dry, bready pale malts. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with noteanof tangerine, pale bread, mellow rindy bitterness. Fine.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 7/2/2018. Pours fairly cloudy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, wood, pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, orange peel, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, wood, pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, wood, pine, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, orange peel, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body, with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is an excellence fruited American pale ale. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, orange peel, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the moderately bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great Simcoe profile with the orange peels. Very juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy hops/fruit; nice pale malt backbone for the ABV, with no residual sweetness from crisp/resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example as expected of the brewery.

Bottle from the Parcel Yard, Leicester. A deep shade of golden, with lots of visible carbonation and the tiniest possible ring of white head. Orange peel and some TCP in the aroma. Lovely little bittersweet taste with a dusting of orange blossom just before the short finish. Heavy carbonation, which works well for this beer. I like it.

355ml bottle from Morrisons, Bracknell. A hazy amber pour with a fast fading white head, and high carbonation, like a soft drink; weak orangey aroma; weak orangey taste; with some herbal bitterness in the background. Not something I'd have again.

Bottle: Poured an orangey/amber color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops notes with light orangey notes also noticeable. Taste is a mix of medium citrusy hoppy undertones with some orangey notes and light bitterness. Body is about average with good carbonation. Not bad but hops notes could be more straightforward.
