(Cask at Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell, 27 Nov 2015) Pale amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of citrus, grapefruit, biscuits and a touch of resin. Fruity, malty taste with orange marmalade, apricots, a touch of toffee, grapefruit and a generous citric/resiny bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Fresh and tasty, with a good hop presence. Nice one.

Oranges. A bit astringent. Dry. Not bad but not special.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Golden amber with a creamy head. Strong tasting but thereโs a decent amount of tropical fruit flavours, as well as a fair aroma.
