Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - deep cloudy orange. Nicely proportioned head. Nose - marmalade with a light herbaceous edge. Taste - more orange and generally marmalade notes. Earthy green notes too meaning it almost cleans on the finish. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a finish that is tangy but could be fresher. Overall - ok but could be fresher on the finish.

Draft. An amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of lemons, hops, caramel, and a bit of brett. The flavor is sweet with an acidic edge and note of caramel, lemons, straw, hops, and brettanomyces, leading to a tart finish.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from the Drinkers’ Paradise. Slow gusher. Pours clear chestnut gold with a billowing, creamy off-white head. The nose holds lightly toasted, crackery malts, orange rind, old pine, hints of caramel. Medium sweet flavour with further crackery character, bitter grass and oily pine, rindy orange, a little marmalade. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Finishes with light resinous pine, further lightly toasted pale malts, grass, aged citrus fruits. This is kind of an old-school IPA, and it seems a little faded as well. Those factors notwithstanding, it’s OK in some ways.

Hand-pulled cask ale at Fortescue. Off-white head to a copper coloured body. Brown malty nose added by pine. Lightly spiced hop fruity flavours on a backbone of brown malts. Dried fruity endnotes, not much bitterness. Medium bodied. Pleasing (Shared with Finn, Plymouth 26.09.2016).

Cask gravity at Reading Beer Festival 2015. Hazy amber russet colour lasting bubbly beige head. Not much condition. Slight syrup malt in the mouth some peppery hop on the finish. Yes it’s an ipa but a sweet pink grapefruit version with little condition
