Very pale with delicious (and outrageously expensive!) US Amarillo hops, which are earthily aromatic and the beer, highly drinkable.

Cask. Pours golden with a slight haze and a lacing white head. Lovely sweet fruit in the nose with a lemon twist - but also a discreet whiff of diacetyl. Medium body, low carbonation, sweet fruitiness and some pleasant citrusy hops that also leave a fairly bitter finish. Delicious. 180412

Cask at Craft Beer Co., London. Hazy pale golden. Sweaty tangerine aroma. Mid sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Tangerine hops quickly dissipates into sugary creamy malt. Mid bitter finish. Tastes much bigger than itโs actuali size.
