Pitstop på The Lyrics, 1/3 pint fra fat: klar gylden med fint skum som varer. Grapefrukt og andre citrusfrukter inkl. engelsk appelsinmarmelade, furunåler og noe barskog. Tørr, bitter og lett å helle over drøvelen.

Bottle at home, 04/02/18. Hazed orange golden with a decnt egg shell white head ... lots of floaties on display which detracts from the appearance of this number. Nose is orange peel, bubblegum, straw, melon, toasted grains. Taste comprises orange pith, citric tinged straw, caramel, light breads, melon, faint mineral notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with moderate hop bitterness. Sippable but low end of the style spectrum.

Cask handpull at Reading BF 2017. Clear amber gold colour lasting white head. Citrus hop aroma grapefruit no doubt. A rather good apa. Good light citrus fruit with some good acid intensity.

Keg at Craft beer Co, Islington. A clear amber golden coloured pour with a loose white head. Aroma is semi sweet nutty malts, light apricot and orange. Flavour is composed of nutty Base malts, bitter orange rind, grassy citrus, little rubber. Assertive grassy hop bitterness. Palate is crisp, lowish carbonation. Not great condition. Good stuff.

Cask at Craft Islington. It pours clear amber with a bubbly white head. The aroma is rich, piney, varnish, resin, bitter - sweet, juicy tropical notes and a touch of stewed orange / marmalade. The big bitterness, piney, resinous, earth, woody, hop burn, oily, zesty grapefruit, pithy, touch of toffee and some astringency with a drying finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. High bitterness took me by surprise. Maybe a touch harsh, but not bad anyhow.
