Pours an extremely pale straw colour with a prominent white head. On the nose is a combination of passion fruit, mango and lychee. The taste is light-bodied and initially sweet but beautifully balanced with a long-lasting bitterness.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours golden yellow with a small foamy off-white head and excellent lacing. There’s mango, lychee and tangerine in the aroma – but it isn’t too overwhelmingly fruity. In the mouth it is sweet and quite juicy with flavours of tropical fruit, floral hops, oranges and melon. A hint of ginger and some bitterness come through later. This is eminently reasonable.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dal floreale. La finezza olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine. Il liquido offre una visione offuscata. Bollicine medio-fini costituiscono la forma del perlage, con carbonazione allegra e vivace. Il colore è giallo ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, agrumi, pompelmo, ananas, arancia, mango e mora.
