First pour was at our brewtap in Feb 2019 and it quickly became the biggest seller we’ve had in an afternoon by some stretch. Packed with mandarin oranges and citrus forward hops, it’s super tasty for the abv with an amazing glow that means it sells quick once on.

Cask, third at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Coast To Coast. Shared with Finn. Unclear golden body, patchy surface, poor lacing. Moderate smell of orange. Mid-sweet orange flavours. Mid-dry end, hints of orange shells. Easy to drink. Satisfying. (Third day of the festival, 24.01.2020).

På Manchester Beer & Cider Festival 2020. Delt med Rune. Gusjegul. Skumring. Lett grapefruktaroma. Smaken druer. Lett tørr avslutning. Litt tynn.

Fra cask på GBBF aug-19: uklar korngul med kort skum. Mandariner/clementiner, lime og appelsinmarmelade. Og allikevel avslutter den ganske tørt, Gode greier i bare 3.4 ABV!

GBBF, 7th Aug 2019, cask half-pint. Dull and cloudy light orange body, no head worthy of the name. Fruity with surprise, surprise; oranges too the fore in both the aroma and taste.

Cask @ Jack In The Box, Manchester. Looks like fruit juice with next to no head. It's bittered with a drab fruitiness.
