Smell of hops. Cloudy amber colour, white head. Very soft palate to start with, gets a bit of hoppy bite in the finish. Aroma of hop, citrus, a faint of earth. Soft and plentiful carbon. Rich body, slightly oily texture.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; clear amber pour with big fluffy white head, big bubblegum Sorachi aroma, taste has resinous pine, some nutty action, pledge, a hint of citrus, used juicy fruit, ok but Sorachi is a crazy hop.

330ml bottle from Cornelius. Pours clear golden with a thin white head. Aromas of lemon bubblegum, light orange, some earthiness. Taste is more of the same, bit in-yer-face with the Sorachi. Lacks balance for me. Creamy texture, bitter finish. OK.

33cl bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden with a decent lacy head. Nose - oranges, apricots, earthiness, maybe even root vegetables. Taste - definite root vegetables - maybe parsnip?. Also more of the apricots. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a dry and persistent finish. Overall - I like this quite a lot, actually.

Bottle via eebria. It pours golden-amber with a medium off-white head. The nose is pungent sorachi, sweet bubblegum, grassy, fennel, heady sweet plastic and some pine. The taste is bitter, doughy, pine needles, plastic, sorachi bubblegum, fennel, resin and spice with a dry, metallic finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Bloody sorachi messing shit up again! Not really one for me...

Bottle from The Beerhive. Hazy golden body with a medium off-white head. No visible carbonation. Excellent lacing. Aroma of green tomatoes, physalis, cat litter and lemon. Flavour of caramel, citrus, sorrel and a hint of onion. Medium body with an oily texture. Light carbonation prickle. Good use of what I find to be a strange hop style, but this beer isn’t a patch on the tropical fruit punch of the original Axe Edge.
