330ml take-away bottle from Bread and Roses. Huge, dense, beige head slowly diminishing over a cloudy orange-gold body. Solid lacing all over the glass. Lemon and peaches on the nose. Firm hop fruity flavours of orange, peaches and juicy malts. Mid-dry, bitter ending. Well bodied. Soft on the swallow. Tasty and refreshing (Shared with Finn, hotel room, Plymouth 26.09.2016).

Bottle thanks to trade with Scopey. Appearance - cloudy golden amber with a very lively head. Nose - pot plants and lime. Taste - ripe almost tropical fruit - maybe melon - with lime on the finish. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - the nose was quiet but I really enjoyed the taste.

Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours London murky, really high carbonation, massive white head. Which collapses quickly. Aromas of lime, light malt. Taste is light sweet, green plants, caramel. Clean finish. A little dull.

Tap@Brewdog Clapham, London - (as V2 at 7.4%) - orange pour with white head. Fruity and malty with notes of orange, peach, some lemon, sweet caramel malty backing, toffeeish, pretty sweet overall but not bad. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottleshare on the England Football team night of shame! Thanks to Leighton. Light haze on this gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and mildly dry. Decent fine carbonation. Light malts, mildly sweet. Hops bring dry pith, pine, mild hop spice. Very mild tropical fruits. Light smooth spicy finish. Slightly recessed but decent.

Bottle shared in London - picked up at Eebria. Pours clear, rich gold with a frothy, off-white head. Rindy citrus in the nose, som eplae bread, hints of pine. Medium sweet flavour with piney hops, light alcohol, dry bread, orange rind. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly resinous to finish with more rindy bitterness, lightly grainy pale malts, ripening citrus fruits. Pretty decent IPA.

Bottle split at Bespin, thanks to LKS, 27/06/16. Golden orange with a well appointed off white head that retains well. Nose is orange squash, straw, toasted bread, light hop notes. Taste comprises orange pith, melon, straw, toasted bread, tangerine, mellow hop. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light hop bitterness. Ok.
