330ml bottle. Cloudy, orangey, dark golden to amber colour with average to huge, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly dusty, yeasty, spicy and sweaty fruity aroma, hints of orange zest and coriander, unspecific tropical fruity undertones. Taste is bitter and spicy, underlying fruitiness, orange zesty bitterness, a touch of passion fruit, peppery coriander overtones. Inharmonious and minimally overspiced.

Bottle at home, 17/06/16. Hazed orange with a decent off white head that dissipates to a covering in time. Nose is orange, straw, light mango notes, light bread, toasted grain. Taste comprises bitter orange, light yeast esters, peppery spice, dusty tropicana and light hop interlude. Medium bodied, prickly carbonation - perhaps a touch overcooked, light hop and mineral chase in the close. Ok for style.

Draft at the London Brewers Market April 2016. Pours hazy gold with a creamy, white head. Mellow wheat in the nose, some crunchy grains, light yeast and grass. Light sweet flavour with strong grassy bitterness, husky grains, dried wheat. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more grassy bitterness, bitter grain husks, light earth, dry wheat flakes. So so overall.
