On tap at Redchurch brewery and taproom, Bethnal Green, Saturday 26th October 2013 Pours cloudy light yellow almost a light brown in fact. Decent citrussy bite, really tangy a little dusty hops also. Alcohol is very well hidden, really nice citrus. I like this beer, like a good American DIPA but sheds some of the sweetness of many of the American versions. A7 A3 T8 P3 Ov15 3.6

Draft from Redchurch Brewery on 3 August 2013. Poured a hazy amber with a medium off white head. Aroma of sweeter citrus, caramel and satsumas. Juice tropical flavours with spruce notes and some bready malt. Left with lingering hop resin, maple syrup and just a little alcohol (but not much considering the strength).

Keg at the brewery tap room - London. Pours lighly hazed, matte gold with a fine, creamy white head. Semi-ripe citrus in the nose, lots of tangerine and orange, some melon. Medium to big sweet flavor with juicy melon, orange, modest pale bread, light alcohol kick, papaya, grapefruit, a bit of tangy lemon. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Moderate warmth in the finish, further ripe and juicy citrus fruits, definitely some boozy thrust here, mellow bitter lemon rind, melon, orange, slight pine needles. It is a big, ballsy operation, this. It drinks pretty well for the ABV, though. In fact, the more I drink of this the more I like it. Good effort.
