0,44 boks delt med Stephen på Hillbilly Brewers Taproom: lett uklar lys gylden med fint skum som varer. Deilig anslag av søt citrus inkl. grapefrukt, aprikoser og hint av ananas. Mild bitterhet i den saftige avslutningen.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A light haze on this dirty gold beer, good bubbly cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin malts, just about sweet enough. Soft cooling pine into semi ripe but fairly bright orange and mandarin citrus. Touch of peel, really nothing much. Light semi dry and crisp finish. Decent.

Can at home picked up from Siren online. A translucent golden yellow coloured pour with a lasting loose white head. Aroma is semi sweet, soft wheat, pissy citrus, funky orange, light vanilla, cumquat. Flavour is composed of soft bready wheat, bready, orange rind, melon, funky squashed orange, melon, pretty juicy. Palate is soft, mellow wheat, moderate carbonation. Not bad.

Almost clear golden orange topped with a just off white cap that dissipates to a swirl over time.
Nose is orange zest, grass, melon, citric tinged straw, mandarin.
Taste comprises orange pith, pine needle, grass, guava, grapefruit.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with grassy come lightly dankened hop bitterness.
Tidy enough offering.

440ml can. Cloudy yellow-gold with moderate lasting white head. Aroma as you expect is citrusy and more towards lemon with an earthy light funk, grains and a touch of papaya. Taste of a semi-sharp noted lemon, earth, funky underripe mango, light herbs. Refreshing mouthfeel, medium bodied, fine carbonation. Sharp lemony citrus noted IPA/pales are not really my thing but this one grew on me over time. Its easy to drink and has a good hop freshness to it.

Can from Morrisons Supermarket in Cromer, next to Cromer rail station.. Hazy golden with a head. Aroma unsurprisingly is citrus, although it's soft taste does allow a few sweetened, almost passionfruit flavours in. Pine also here in both aroma and taste.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Siren online. Pours faintly hazed yellow-gold with a small, creamy white head. Light-medium sweet flavour with notes of semi-ripe citrus, mellow peel, lemon, pine needles, a little pithy dryness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Pithy finish, a little white grape, pale bread, soft pine needle bitterness. Drinks fine, on the simple side.
