Dark orange colour with slight haze and a lingering, tight white head.
Made with Orange, Grapefruit and Lime rind, a strong sweet orange and tropical aroma dominate the nose. On the palate a complex citrus and bitter orange favour comes through followed by a soft sweetness finishing with a long lingering and sticky bitterness.Full bodied, highly carbonated and easy drinking, this is a summer take on an American classic.

Can. Very hazy deep gold - amber beer, small cream colour head. Palate is light, fairly dry and has decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin dry malts, a trace of caramel and thin dry malt cream. Orange peel - mildly bitter. Crystallised orange. Mild bitterness. Light finish. Quite drinkable if quite unexciting.

330ml can @ Chez Sophie. Pours amber with a light mist, large off-white head. Aroma of caramel, orange, lime, light spice. Taste bears a nice balance between caramel malt and moderately sweet orange fruit, faint spice, lemon / lime rind, crisp and a slightly over exuberant carbonation. Perhaps reign in the bubbles and this wouldn't be half bad.

Draft. Aroma is apple, tea, caramel, a whiff of citrus. Taste is sweet, bready, a bit of lemon. Finishes lightly bitter and crisp. Good.

Can from Wine Rack, West Byfleet. Nose is slightly befuddled by Chicken Kiev... floral, citrus, resin. Also a real sweetness - almost candyfloss. Dark opaque amber. Frothy off-white head. An initial high impact bitterness is quickly smoothed out by a wave of juicy citrusness. Medium bodied. Slick, verging on sticky. Soft carbonation. Relatively abrupt finish. Good stuff. Does what it says on the can: citrus.

Can picked up from Wine Rack at Yarnton Nurseries, Yarnton, Oxon, consumed at home Sunday 20th August 2017 whilst making Apple and Blackberry Crumble Ice Cream, Mushroom Soup and just about to start Zarzuela Hazy amber with a sticky white head. Reminds me a little of the Flying Dog Bloodline, it’s a nice IPA but perhaps a little sweet, there is orange with a supporting role played by the grapefruit and lime which are barely noticeable. Good but not great. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov13 3.2

Keg at Lone Wolf, Bingoham, 20/05/17. Golden orange with a decent off white head. Nose is blood orange, straw, bread dough, melon. Taste comprises orange pith, lemon rind, peach, toasted grains, airy malt base. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with balanced hop bitterness. Decent enough IPA.

Mild fruchtiger Antrunk. Süßlicher, deutlich parfümiert wirkender Mittelteil, künstliche Noten von Zitrus, trocken kräutrig, unpassend. 10/7/7/7/9/7

Još jedna dobra IPA iz Garden brewerya. Jako lije miris po naranči i ostalom citrusnom voću. Nije jako gorka, vrlo pitko za jednu IPA-u.

Can, 0.33l. Pours hazy muddy brown with a red hue. Small off-white head, quickly diminishing. Minimal lacing. Absolutely beautiful nose, bursting with citrus fruits, lots of red orange notes. Medium body, softly carbonated. Thick and creamy texture, delightfully bitter taste and mouthfeel. Aroma is mostly hoppy. Lots of citrus fruits, red orange and grapefruit dominate the palate. Herbs and spices, some honey notes. Sweet malty backbone comes through later on in the aftertaste. Well hidden alcohol. Lasting finish, pleasantly bitter, slightly peppery and a bit dry. Overall, enjoyed this one a lot. Very tasty brew and one I’ll definitely pick up again.
