This celebration ale is perfect to be enjoyed at any occasion. It's a delicious combination of two aromatic citrus hops - Sorachi Ace and Ekuanot - which have resulted in a balanced bouquet of tropical fruits and subtle herbacious notes.

750ml bottle - Pours a hazy orange-gold colour with a small frothy off-white head. The aroma is marmalade, fresh oranges, spice, and lemon zest. A moderately sweet and citrusy taste, marmalade, bitter grapefruit, and spicy yeast flavours with a herbal hop bitter finish.

Large bottle from Sainsbury's Supermarket, Brighouse. Slightly deeper orange colour with a small head. The sorachi hops provide some grittiness to the brew as they often do, but the other has a subduing effect. Understated in its fruits it's nevertheless an interestingly crisp brew with some sugars.

[75cl bottle from Sainsbury’s, Bracknell.] A hazy golden amber pour with a tight cream head; fruity yeast aroma; sharply bitter citrus zest to start, then a sweet orangey body with a trace of honey; then some yeast and herbs to finish. Very pleasant.

Hazy golden beer, white head. Smells fruity and a but peppery. Flavour has citrus, pepper, coriander, sweet malt. A bit saison-y, and surpasses my expectations for a supermarket beer. Very decent!

750ml bottle bought in Sainsbury’s, Beaconsfield, Bucks. A dark golden coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Yeasty, orange, citrus, spice, caramel aroma. Tastes similar, quite sweet and Belgian in character despite being produced in France. A festive bargain for £3.

750ml bottle. Deep gold in colour, with a slight, white, head. Aroma of marmalade, tangerines, spice and yeasty grains. Flavour started sweet, with more citrus character, candy sugar and spices, with a slightly herbal edge and warming, boozy, finish. Very good.
