Can on 18th January 2025, received as Christmas gift. Pours a hazy coppery amber with a heavy, dense collapsing foam and scant lacing. Malts, peels and soft pungencies in aroma. Rich zesty and tangy fruits in-mouth, some nutty malts and a complex finish both bitter and fruity with spices. Medium bodied with a zingy mouthfeel. Superb.

Rocky white head on a murky amber coloured body. Fruity, malt, orange aroma. Medium bodied, frothy over the tongue with a cloying back. Sweet, orange, toffee, malt & grain tastes. Bit of a Quaffer.

The one on the left. Not as good as the other two sampled here. Could do with more hops!

440ml can as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Brownish gold and clear with a ring of white head. Light aroma: grass, orange peel, some floral notes. Refreshing bitter taste with more tannic bitterness in the finish.more orange peel and strong iced tea in the aftertaste. Full oily body with medium carbonation. A very nice strong golden.
