Tight fluffy white head stayed on an unclear golden body. Zesty aroma with nectarine & mango. Medium bodied, soft over the tongue with a slight tickle down the throat & a cloying aft. Muted hops, malt, peach & confectionery tastes with a tangy grapefruit finish.

[33cl can from Beer52] A bright pale amber pour with a loose white head; citrus aroma with a touch of resin; citrus taste to start then pine needles emerge giving a dank, earthy feeling; and a dry piney finish.

330ml can: poured into an 'Old Speckled Hen' vase shaped pint glass at home on 9th Oct 2019. Hazy yellow body, white head with lacing. The nose is both tropical fruit hoppy and piney hop in nature, the taste similar with the malts playing second fiddle to the hop content.

Big rich lychee aroma. Cask gravity at SIBA South East Tonbridge 2017. Hazy gold colour lasting white head. Decent American style ipa in England on cask whats not to like. Good light feel but packs a punch some peach. Good.

Scopey 10K Celebrations in deepest Croydonia. Thanks to Paul. Hazy amber beer, thin cream colour head. Palate is light and has a mild minerally crispness. Light malts, thin creamy sweetness. Hops are decent pine, orange and citric peel. Smooth finish. Mild bitter linger. Hangs together well.

330ml bottle picked up at Fresh Field Market in Croydon. Hazy apricot coloured body, Crocheted lacing from a filmy layer. Smell of pine and grain, semi-dry. Fresh taste of orange supported by juicy malts. Bittersweet ending. Medium bodied. Drinks quite well (hotel room, shared with Finn 30.11.2015).

Flaske 330ml fra Fresh Fields Market Croydon. Delt med Rune på rom 426 Premier Inn Croydon Town Center 30 Nov 15. Skittegulbrun. Middels skum som daler sakte. Litt lacing. God frisk appelsinaroma. Smaken syrlig aprikos. Blir tørr etter hvert. Ikke god ettersmak.

Bottle shared at my 10K tasting. It pours hazy deep amber with a small white head. The nose is sweet, juicy, sticky stewed orange, nectarine, peach, tinned fruit, caramel and pine. The taste is bitter-sweet, juicy, oily, peppery spice, resinous, some alcohol boost, brown bread, wood and leather with a dry, warming finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Nice aroma, but it is quite boosty. Not bad.
