Bottle from Beers of Europe. Light hazed amber with nice frothy medium sized white head. Aroma of light toasted malt, sweetness and an array of hop notes coming through - candied orange, marmalade, grass, flora. Taste follows - light brown bread, toasted grains, icing sugar, mixed citrus peel, pine needles, hop oils. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, decent bitterness in the finish. In terms of a bottled pale ale, its quite a bold hoppy number, and combined with an interesting malt profile, this does make it stand out a bit. Its certainly the best of the beers I've tried from Cheddar Ales so far. [#3642 / 5th beer from brewery]

A light haze on this orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and smooth and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Light dry pale malts, a touch of cereal. The quartet of modern hops are delivered in a startlingly old fashioned manner, pithy and perky. Some ripe orange and mandarin on the back end, as in over ripe. Mild pine. Light and semi dry finish leaves a pithy linger and a touch of modern Mosaic candy fruits. Okay, could be doing a lot more with these hops imho.

Bottle online from Beers Of Europe. Pours a hazy amber colour with a one finger foamy off-white head. Aromas of citrus orange, floral and toasty bread. Taste has citrus orange pith, peppery spice and a little bit of caramel. Thin almost watery body and fairly low carbonation. Could do with a bit more body but a decent enough beer.

Tight foamy off white head stayed on a slowly carbonating, reddish brown body. Caramel, malt & treacle aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a tingle down the throat. Berries, caramel, spiced fruit & light hops with a long bitter finish. Nice one.

500ml bottle condition from Beers of Europe: BBE Mar 2022. Drank at home in the early hours of 29th Dec 2020. No sediment left the bottle, so I got a clear amber pour, off-white crown on top. The nose held citrus notes alongside malty molasses, the taste was also a mixture of light citrus flavours on a caramel/toffee like base. Nice!

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - amber to copper with attractive off white lacing. Nose - fruitcake including dried fruit and some sweet spices. Toffee and citrus too. Taste - dried orange and sultana. Then citrus zest competes with brown bread and earthiness. Palate - creamy with balanced malt and hop bitterness. Medium bodied. Overall - very drinkable. Quite similar to Karst too.
