Can from lowcostbeer.com, 1 month in date. Hazy orange-gold with nice looking small white head. Aroma of sour fruit, citrus zest and the Vienna malt comes through; not sure about this. Needn't have worried its fairly tasty. Tartness is there with lemon and tropical notes, a touch malty and dry in the finish. There is a possibility there was a slight bacterial infection in the mix as I recall similar sour characteristics in another beer that was virtually undrinkable. In this case its far more muted and arguably character inducing. However apart from the sourness, fruity element and interesting malt there is a lack of hop complexity you would expect in a modern IPA. A bit disappointing, a below average IPA but an ok beer.

Cask at Egham Beer Fest Summer 24. Aroma is fruity with a resinous edge. Murky opaque gold - pulped fruit in appearance. Thin frothy bubbly white head attempts to provide full coverage but fails to do so. Medium-heavy bitter. Resinous. Fruity streak. Underlying malts. Medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. OK. Doesn't really hit the target.

Rocky off white head on a hazy amber coloured body. Pine, orange & malt aroma. Medium bodied, soft on the tongue with a lightly carbonated back. Orange, pine, lemon & chalky tastes with a tangy finish. Enjoyable.
