Glowing orange colour. A beautifully balanced beer where the Pale, crystal and Munich malts really help amplify the hops juicy qualities. Layers of flavour: tropical fruit, citrus fruit, stinky cheese, caramel - all working together. Bitter and sweet. Lush.

23/V/17 - 33cl can from a trade @ home - BB: n/a, canned: 8/II/17, £3.25 (2017-606) Thanks to Valerie and Neil for the trade!
Little cloudy orange beer, big creamy irregular yellowish head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of tropical fruit, citrus, grapefruit, passion fruit, quite some orange peel and mandarins. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: fresh oranges, soft bitterness, some citrus, malty touch, bit sweet, very fruity, nice! Aftertaste: more bitter, some grapefruit, bit malty, pineapple, bit sourish, citrus, fresh oranges. Lovely stuff.

A can at home picked up from Beer Ritz. A translucent golden orange coloured pour with a sticky off white head. Aroma is nice juicy orange mango smoothie, tropical fruits, white grape, soft bready grains. Flavour is composed of solid base malts, hint of caramel, sticky citrus orange, tangerine and mango. Palate is semi sweet, grainy, moderate carbonation. Very decent pale ale.

Can@yesprs - orange pour with white head. Aroma and taste is a medley of tropical and citrus fruity notes, some grapefruit and some tangerine, light malty base, slight caramel sweetness, medium bitter into the finish, refreshing tasty brew.
