Best before December 12th 2019.

Pours a clearish reddish gold, aboot an inch of foam. Lacing is spotty.

I smell orange zest and light pine. Very slightly dank.

Orange is up front, don't know if it is strong enough to include the word zest. Hoppy, low bitterness, cracker malt, smooth flavours, nothing to wear your palate out.

Medium bodied, lively carbonation.

This is good.

330ml can from Booths, Ripon. Pours an orangey amber colour, with white foamy head leaving lacing and aroma of caramel, mellow citrus orange, hop. Taste is malt, caramel, marmalade, floral citrus, orange rind, grapefruit, pine with hop resiny bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

On tap at Euston Tap. Clear copper orange colour lasting thin white head. Diacetyl? Some orange flavour which is not too strong. Odd beer. It's OK . Bitter finish. Orange jelly flavour. OK but not quite what I was expecting.

Can from Cork & Cask. Clear amber golden body with a thin white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of tinned orange and yellow pepper. Flavour of blood orange and waxed lemon. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. A bright, refreshing IPA.

Creamy beige head stayed on a hazy, lightly carbonated, dark amber body. Sweet orange & melon aroma. Medium to full bodied, thick & chewy in the mouth with minimal carbonation yet a tingle down the throat & cloying aft. Plenty of orange, sweet citrus, melon & hoppy tastes with a tangy, slightly bitter citrus finish.
