27/9/2022. 500ml bottle from CentrAle, Newcastle. Pours hazy dark orange amber with a fluffy white head. Aroma is spicy, orange, green apple, flowers, biscuit, caramel, malt, spruce. Light sweetness and quite heavy bitterness. Medium body. Quite lively carbonation, but otherwise good.

Bottle at home – originally gift from nephew Has an aroma of fruity, floral hops. Pours a golden yellow with a vigorous cream head, that lasts a good while. Lops of hoppy bitterness in the mouth (no lemon or grapefruit nonsense here !), some caramel and malts as well. A nice dry bitter finish. This is very good.

On cask at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - amber with a decent head. Nose - light orange and earthy notes. Taste - more of the same really. Some lemon or grapefruit on the end. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - it’s a very drinkable 5.5% beer.

Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival, KEGS. Cask. Pretty much a clear gold beer. Small bubbly white head. Palate is light, dry and crisp. Light semi sweet malt. Floral tones. Nice light lemon and orange peel hops, even a touch of lime. Medium bitterness. Light dry finish. Good stuff!
