Can at Craft CG - thanks! It pours lightly hay orange - amber with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, oily, sugary, apricot, peach, tangy orange and fruit smoothie. The taste is dry, bitter, pithy, zesty, apricot, papaya, fruit smoothie, watermelon, boozy warmth, toffee and resin with a bitter and earthy finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Heavy sweet, resinous and oily. Fun stuff, but couldn't drink a whole lot.

Can from Fresh Fields market Croydon. And drunk at home. Hazy amber colour lasting white head. Sherbet big candied citrus and orange fruit aromas. Yes sweet candied citrus fruit flavours in the mouth. I was expecting it to be big brash but if anything it's not sweet well not too sweet. No burn or booziness. Hides abv almost too well. For 11% I could get hammered on this and still enjoy it. So light agile and elegant. It's amazing. Rowntree Tangerine fruit pastille. Properly lovely. Grapefruit pink grapefruit flavour too

At a tasting, small bubbly creamy head, clear orange colour, aroma of onion with some maltiness, fruity with a strong bitterness, a bit tannic but also alcoholic, but not overly heavy. Drinkable but not too my liking.

Can from BrewDog BottleBox [050818]
Orange, hazy, white head
Aroma of sweet tropical fruits, piney, orange, no alcohol, more hop resins as ait warms up
Taste of resinous hops, tropical fruits, orange, piney, sweet pale malt background
Palate - Soft carb, medium to full body, fairly oily, good bitter sweet balance, alcohol noticeable. Finish as main flavour, piney, hop resins, soft warming alcohol
Overall - OK, bit too strong in alcohol though

440ml can. Pours hazy light orange with an off-white head, good retention. Aroma of pine, resin, tropical fruits, orange, marmalade. Taste is the same, pine, resin, orange, grapefruit, bittersweet and slight boozy finish, yet tasting nowhere near 11%. Medium-full bodied, soft carbonation. Feels crushable despite the double digit ABV, impressive.
