Cask at GBBF'19 Day 1, 06/08/19. Hazed golden orange with an off white head. Nose is sweet mango pulp, perfume, citric pulp, sugars. Taste comprises mango shreds, ripe melon, grass, orange peel, floral notes. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close doused in light resinous hop bitterness. Way too sweet and one dimensional ... no thanks.

Cask at the Great British Beer Festival 2019 - London. Pours lightly hazy gold with a small, foamy white head. Medium sweet flavour with notes of bright melon and white grape, pale bread, low bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Juicy white grape and peach gummies in the finish. Simplistic but not bad.

Can. Orange blonde. Orange, plastic, grass and aluminium in the aroma. Malty sweetish flavor with white pepper, plastic, orange, grass and soft herbal notes in the flavor. Decent.

Pours a nearly clear amber from a can. Big stone fruit and clementine aroma, almost sickly sweet smelling. Similar flavor. A bit over the top.

Cask at GBBF 2019. Clementine aroma. Amber. No head. Bitter core with a dose of sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Astringent finish. Just doesn't do much for me.

Can at home. Somewhat unclear orange color, small off-white head. Aroma and flavor both have a light malty note, heavily hoppy, nicely fruit hoppiness mixed with some resinous hoppy notes. Moderate to decently bitter finish. Body is decent to medium, carbonation is average. Quite ok. 8-3-8-3-14
