Cask at GBBF 2016, Day 1 - London. Pours deep gold with a foamy, mostly white head. Great snout, with ample citrusy hops. Nice flavour, with moderate sweetness, rindy bitterness, certainly some zesty citrus character, orange and grapefruit. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with fain warmth, more zesty citrus. Good one.

Cask at GBBF 2016. It pours clear golden with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, sweet, juicy grapefruit, candied fruits and some marmalade. The taste is bitter - sweet, slick, a shed load of grapefruit, oily, fruit cocktail and sticky tinned fruits with a dry, grapefruit finish. Medium body, soft carbonation and oily mouths - feel. Enjoyable, if a touch one-dimensional.

GBBF Day 1. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, no head. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Big piney tropical fruits, mango - pineapple. Light citric peel bitterness which carries through the finish. Fantastically tropical.

Sampled @ GBBF day 1. Clear golden color, small white head. Smell and taste are malts, zesty, orangepeel. (Dutch) "Pim’s koekje". Meh, not my thing, I dislike the orangy / orangepeel aroma and flavor. A bit chemical imo.
