L42 Bottleshare. Thanks to Ade. Mildly hazy amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Creamy malts, slightly dry. Spicy hops. Mellow orange peel bitterness. Little lemon. Light finish leaves a citric peel bitter linger. Decent.

Bottle thanks Mr T. It pours clear orangeish - amber with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, bready, sweet lemonade, minerals and a touch of soap. The taste is slick, restrained bitterness, oily, chewy, bready, lemonade, lager shandy, cheddar cheese and resin with a soft finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A bit more sweet and malty than I had hoped for...

Bottle shared in London - big thanks to MrTipple. Pours clear orange-gold with a frothy, white head. The aroma holds ripening citrus fruits, piney hops, crackery pale malts. Medium sweet flavour with jammy citrus, some gummy white grape, crusty pale bread, more pine. Medium bodied, oily, with fine carbonation. Resinous finish, with more crackery pale malts, pine, tangerine. Not bad.

Bottle from Beers’n’more. Rather weak aroma, but some tropical fruit in there. Oddly burning spiciness on the tongue and palate, becomes more apparent the more you drink. This is okay, but somehow Doppelleu is not doing good things with Storm&Anchor.

Orange color with an inch thick white head. Aroma is cat piss, tropical fruits, peaches, mango, and apricots. Taste is spicy, onion-shallotty, a bit "herzhaft". Bitter finish. The onionness is a bit of a turnoff. Now it’s also present in the aroma. A bit overdone.
