Old Review from 08/05/2014. A bottle brought in Corks of Cotham, Bristol on my recent road trip. Poured into a Liberation Ale pint glass. Web site description- A well balanced premium best bitter combination of English pale & German Munich malts and all American hops for a fresh citrus character. My experience is of an aroma that is big on caramel, fruity with herbal hops coming through. Flavour is of fruity hops, medium bitterness, and some sweet malt notes, mostly caramel. A perfectly balanced beer, one that I'll go out of my way to buy again.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Dark orange with a small creamy head. There’s a fair amount of orange flavour in this, both aroma and taste in a medium body.

Cask at the Lyric - Soho, London. Pours clear amber with a frothy, white head. The aroma holds toasty malts, orange rind, slight leaves and nuts. Light sweet flavor with dirty leaves giving bitterness, dried toast, grain husk, ripe orange. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Pretty good condition. More dry, slightly bready and toasty malts to finish, crunchy leaves, berry skins, grass. Not bad.
