Shared bottle at RB/HD at Fjøløy 03.09.16. Brown. Persistent white head and lacing. Fruity aroma of malt and hops, with hints of green apples. Similarly fine taste. Well balanced, with long aftertaste!

Shared 75 cl bottle at local tasting. Orange colour, off-white head. Yeasty and fruity aroma, notes of oranges. Fruity flavour, some from the yeast but mostly from the hops. Good bitterness.

Bottle at Craft Islington Tasting, thanks to Leighton. It pours cloudy moderate brown with a medium off-white head. The aroma is soft, freshly baked brown bread, orange sherbet, marmalade, cracker and cold-brew coffee. The taste is smooth, brown bread, toasted stuff, coffee, toffee/caramel, coffee cake, wood, earth and light spice with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Brilliantly balanced and highly drinkable. Very nice.

Craft Islington bottleshare. Thanks to Leighton. Lightly hazy amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry. Modest fine carbonation. Soft dry malts, mildly sweet, some cream. Fruity tang into spicy floralness. More fruity tang before a spicy dry finish. Tasty enough.
