Can pour into nonic pint glass from Julio's Liquors. Appearance is hazy yellow (urine-like) with fair sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with fair retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is sweet orange-lemon citrus. Taste is sweet orange-lemon citrus with some offsetting dank bitterness. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, pretty straightforward citrus, which isn't a bad thing. If anything, might be a bit muted flavor/aroma as 4 months old. Good for a session--initially thought it was straight IPA.

Cask at GBBF '18, day 3, 09/08/18. Hazed golden orange with a decent off white covering. Nose is tangerine, straw, melon, light breads. Taste comprises orange squash, toasted grains, grass, melon, lemon rind, airy malts. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Passable session gear .... just a touch subdued and could do with some more hop presence.

GBBF Day 3. Cask. Hazy yellow - gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light dry palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth thin dry malts, modest sweetness. Mellow dry orange citrus. Mild grapefruit and citric pith. Dry finish. Quite dry and more than a bit recesses hop wise.
