Bottle split at Chris and Ruth’s legendary pre-GBBF shindig 2017, day one, 05/08/17 cheers all for the beers ! Clear golden amber, carbonation evident, off white head. Nose is biscuit, hint of plastic, straw, melon. Taste comprises toasted grains, straw, light citric peel, faint bread. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close sprinkled with a light hop medley. Passable for the style.

Bottle at C&R Pre-GBBF Tasting 2017. It pours clear rich amber – copper with a thick white head. The aroma is quite fresh, rich, malt – driven, bready, bitter – sweet, honey, hint of orange marmalade and cereal. The taste is crisp, dry, firm bitterness, zingy lemon, lime, cereal, grass, toasted grain, wood, leather and spice with a dry, woody finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Rather pleasant and fresh stuff overall. Good for style.

Bottle shared at the chriso and Ruth pre GBBF Tasting, 2017 Saturday edition. Cheers! Pours unclear orange-gold with a frothy, white head. The aroma holds citrus, orange, grainy pale bread. Light to medium sweet flavour with nice ripening citrus fruit character, some melon, tangerine, more pale grains. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, with lightly jammy citrus, straw, orange rind, faint grass. Nice one.
