Pours a hazy dark orange gold. Thick head. Light carbonation. Hoppy aroma. Tastes like citrus and hops. Palate has pine and earthy elements. Very light mouthfeel while also having hard hops influence. Very unique beer

Can pour into shaker pint glass from the source. Appearance is clear, dark-orange-to-light-brown, with light sparkle, finger-width white head with fair retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is citrus and resin. Taste is as aroma. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, works pretty well but not terribly strong.

GBBF Day 3. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, a few pale cream colour bubbles. Palate is light, semi dry and has a reasonable fine carbonation. Sweet pale malts, rich. Hop spice. Mango and orange peel, marmalade. Light floralness. Semi dry finish. Spicy linger. Good one.
