Can from Crown Rivers, Heathrow T5, on way to Dubai, 12th January 2020. Pours clear and straw in colour. Aroma is pine, citrus and aromatic. Taste is pithy, bitter, citrus and pine, light aromatic and some tropical notes, with a bitter pithy pine needle finish. Loving the bitterness and grapefruit pith on this one

Can at The Pennsylvanian (Wetherspoons), Rickmansworth, Herts. A golden orange coloured pour with a healthy white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, orange, grapefruit aroma and taste. It's OK but overly bitter.

Can from Booths Supermarket, Media City. Golden-amber with a small head. Fruity with orange and orange peel evident in both aroma and taste, and it's bitter-sweet for it, but the bitterness factor is quite low. Has a bit of a tang about it.

Can at home picked up from Wheatherspoons. A clear dark orange coloured pour with a lasting fluffy white head. Aroma is some nutty malts, light toffee, orange rind, earthy citrus. Flavour is composed of burnt toffee, orange rind, resinous, singed pine. Firm bitterness. Grassy. Palate is semi sweet, resinous, moderate carbonation. Little rough round the edges.

330ml can. Poured a hazy light amber colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is toffee caramel malt, resin, woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, toffee apple, dry woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Can. Very light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palete is light, mildly dry and has a good fine minerally crispness. Light malts, a light sweetness. Good marmalade and orange peel hops. Tempered by some pine and very light tangerine. Finishes crisp with building orange peel bitterness. Decent but was expecting better hop complexity from Oakham. Stop brewing for the masses guys, you can do better.
