Can from Fresh Fields Market Croydon and drunk at home. Hazy dirty muddy amber brown colour lasting cream head. Some toffee on the aroma. Some very soft simcoe hops in the mouth, light gooseberry and grapefruit. slight bitterness. Some lasting sweetness. Not huge hop. a subtle APA I guess. Caramel malty apa. fine. If more malty than most apa these days.

Keg at the Lab, 21/07/17. Golden amber with a decent off white head. Nose is bitter orange, straw, stale bread, lemon rind, light funky fumes. Taste comprises orange marmalade, light spice, toasted brioche, caramel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with juicy hop bitterness. Strange one ... sippable but a little tangy and tart in places.

Keg at the London Brewers Market April 2016. Pours hazy, deep orange-gold with a creamy, white head. The nose has mellow citrus notes, bread, rind, light pine. Light sweet flavour with balanced bready malt character, low bitterness, mild pine, ripening orange. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish, with some pithy citrus, faint minerality, more pale bread, restrained pine. Good stuff.
