On draught at P-Macs. Clear copper-gold with billowing white head that is rather marshmallow like. Subtle fruit on both aroma and taste. The taste follows through with a bitter back half.

Backlog rating from 20/11/14. On draught at P Mac’s. Pours a deep copper with a small white head that’s gone before I have time to pick up the glass. Juicy grapefruit and pine, some tropical fruit, bready malts, sticky aroma...enticing. Flavour is a bit of a let down from the aroma, overly acidic, astringent. Keeps the grapefruit and citrus bitterness, but the sticky sweetness comes through as well, a bit unbalanced. Finish is hop resin bitterness with sugary sweetness that sticks to the teeth.
