Bottle at home, 30/10/16. Hazed orange with a well appointed white cap of tightly knit bubbles. Nose is tangerine, straw, orange peel, straw, light bread notes. Taste comprises orange marmalade, bread dough, melon, lemon tinged straw, toasted grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with light earthy hop bitterness. Mediocre for style, drinkable enough but never pulls out of first gear and lacks depth for the ABV.

Billynomates solo hotel tasting. Hazy gold beer, big pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, dry and has decent fine carbonation. Airy malts, mildly sweet. Light citric sherbet, some citrus peel and bitter floralness, Prett dry finish. Okay.

Cask at Watford Beer Festival, Watford, Herts. A hazy golden/amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, ripe musty tropical fruit aroma. Tastes quite rich, hoppy, tropical fruit, slightly malty. Not bad.

Bottle at home from Bottle:Shop St Albans. Rich golden orange coloured pour with a light hazew and a lasting off white frothy head. Aroma is grassy, slightly cheesey hop with some bready malts. Flavour is sharp citrus, slight wet grass hops. Big hop bitterness is sharp and slightly rought round the edges. Some hairspray solvent lingers in the finish. Palte is medium light with spritzy carbonation. Tangy citrus finish.

33 cl bottle @ hotel room, Amsterdam. BBE 07.08.2014
Aroma has hops, some tropical fruits, hints of apricot and biscuits. Also some toffee typical to English ales behind the fruity tones. Flavour is somewhat hoppy with peaches, apricot, grapefruit, gooseberry bush and hints of biscuits. A feeling of English hops at the middle of the glass. A bit mellow for an American IPA – an English IPA this must be.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Kris Wines. Pours cloudy, rich gold with a thick, tight off-white head. The aroma holds tangy tangerine, lemon, pale wood, faint brett maybe, a bit of grass. Light-medium sweet flavor with a bit of peach, mild twangy citrus fruits, melon, some bitter wood, dry grass, hay, slight grain husks. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes relatively clean with low bitterness, some sandy grass, more woody aspects, orange rind, light minerality, balancing sweetness, some slight lemon notes. Interesting stuff and pretty drinkable, but the galaxy hops seem fairly neutered. Still, it’s fair.
