[11/09] Bottle. Quite a pale amber with a cream head that faded to just there. Aroma is caramel and biscuity with fruity hops. Still savoury somehow. It’s medium-bodied and slightly chewy. Very fruity with restrained bitterness. Perhaps a little sweet and the finish is rather brief. Nothing particularly original here, but lovely. [3.8] [6/10] Completely clear bright orange. Low bead. Toffee verging on butterscotch with very fruity hop aroma with some mild spice. Appreciate the clear "bottled on" date. A little thin and quite sweet, but a lovely session ale. [5/18]Cold. Really quite fizzy with a large and persistent head. Seems drier (as a consequence? or a tweak?). Still a more than decent beer I'm happy to drink often.

Amber pour, lots of fine carbonation, persistent small creamy head.Moderate fruity hops aroma, mostly lemon and orange. Followed by a pleasing sweet caramel malt, cookie dough, and honey.Taste is definitely malt dominated, with more cookie dough, some bread, then finished with a gentle hoppy bitterness.Creamy texture, fair bit of carbonation, perhaps too much.

Dull beige colour does nothing to entice. Aroma is strong, though, estery - lemon and pomegranite. Fairly light flavour and low bitterness. Lemony, sugary and a touch spritzy in the finish. Has potential, but they need MORE HOPS! It’s a like a soup made with water instead of stock.

Bottled. Orange colour, hazy. Pleasant orange aroma. Sweet, fruity and mild with medium body and sparkling mouthfeel. Rather low bitterness.
