330ml draft into a bottle from lowcostbeer @6.5%. Clear amber with small semi-creamy off-white head. Cats piss aroma with orange, stone fruit and herbs. Taste is a little disappointing at first with more of a sweet malty-orange backbone, some interesting floral resin chewiness, tropical notes emerge in the finish with a nice bitterness after a few sips. It does grow on you after a while. Body fuller than your average non-double IPA, nice carbonation. Decent.

Can at home, thanks to Simon47574 for picking this up, 02/03/19. Murky orange amber with a well presented off white cap. Nose is orange pith, grassy, mango, raw pineapple, toasted malts, ripe tropical fruits. Taste comprises bitter orange, citric tinged straw, flinty minerals, raw pineapple. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with earthy hop bitterness. Passable pale ... a touch raw in places and heavy on the minerality.
