Bottle from Fresh Fields Market. It pours cloudy bright orange with a small white head. The nose is fresh, fragrant, honeysuckle, orange peel, mango, orange muffin and bread. The taste is crisp, clean, bitter, peppery, straw, zesty orange peel, grapefruit, toasted grain and straw with a dry finish. Light body and fine carbonation. Crisp and crushable. A good low abv offering.

0,33l bottle at home from trade with minutemat, big thanks. Bottled 22.07.2015, BB 22.12.2015. amber clear color, small white head. smells of pines, light sweetness, peppery, spices, some tropical fruits, mango, nice smell. light body, soft carbonation, at first rather slick mouthfeel but after a while it gets quite watery (towards the finish). tastes of grass, herbal, spices, some burned malts, peppery, very light notes of tropical fruits again. finishes rather herbal bitter and with some burned malts. decent stuff, especially considering the ABV, overall liked the smell a bit better than the taste. on first sip rather thin, but both the mouthfeel gets better and the watery taste towards the finish improves too. overall nice, I wonder how this was when fresher.

Lightly hazy gold - amber beer, untidy white head. Palate is thin and semi dry with modest fine carbonation. Mild minerals. Very light thin malts. Hops are thin dry pithy citrus. Touch of apple. Light bitterness on the finish. Wishy washy and thin, just too small!

Bottle from Brewer’s Droop, Bristol. SLightly hazy and deep gold in colour, with a lacy white head and moderate carbonation. Leafy hop, sweet stone fruit aroma. Flavour was sweet, with ripe, cereal mlats, tangerine fruits and a lightly bitter finish. Decent end of summer drinking.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Light lacing. Aroma of freshly squeezed orange, tonic water, white bread, straw and passionfruit. Flavour of rice paper, orange pith, steel and cardboard. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. It smells good, but tastes a bit ’tinny’. Lacking depth of flavour (not that surprising at 2.5% ABV).
