A nod to the beautiful hops of the Southern Hemisphere and their tropical fruit notes. Some crystal malt thrown in to add sweetness and give the beer an amber glow.

Bottle shared in Hackney - thanks to Fergus. Pours clear honey-gold with a creamy, white head. Ripe citrus in the nose, pale bread, jammy orange. Light-medium sweet flavour with some sun-kissed honey, dry pale bread, bitter hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Sweet finish with more ripe and jammy citrus fruits, pale grains. So so overall.

Bottle split at New Bespine, thanks to Fergus, 27/03/17. Clear golden orange with a moderate off white cap. Nose is caramel, straw, orange peel, citric rinds. Taste comprises sweet malts, straw, orange peel, grains, caramel, sweet. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Average for style ... lacks hop and balance.

Bottle from Bon Vivant’s Companion. Appearance - golden with a thin head. Nose - grass and cardboard. Taste - still a touch of cardboard there. More grass and some grapefruit. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly decent finish apart from the elephant in the room is the massive cardboard note. Overall - don’t thin the brewer intended the beer to taste like this.

Bottle at Ashton McCobb’s. Pours clear golden amber with a thin white head. Aromas of orange, grass. Taste is a cardboard mess though, some orange fights through. Finishes badly.
