Blasting off with a modern take on the classic Best Bitter, Orbiter harnesses American Amarillo hops alongside the classic East Kent Goldings variety for a citrus hit. Amber in colour, this super sessionable beer combines rich, malt character with full on fruit hoppiness. A stellar twist on tradition.

Cask-conditioned at the Old Fish Market, Bristol 17 April 2022. Deep amber in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. A malty beer, with some caramel, red berries, leafy hops and a moderately bitter finish. More Fullers than Dark Star, and pretty good.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Aroma has burnt caramel. Clear medium brown. Thin microbubbled head. Citrusy. Underlying cardboard. Gains some bitterness into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Hoppy but bland.
