Bottle at tasting. Golden pour. Aroma of orange zest, citrus and malt. Taste is less good, bit thin, with malt, watery citrus and some grain. Too bad.

Bottle shared at the 2015 edition of the chriso Pre-GBBF tasting - London. Cheers! Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. Nice pithy citrus aroma. Lightly sweet, with notes of pithy lemon, grapefruit rind, white bread. Light in body with average carbonation. Pithy finish with nice citrus note, faint pine needles. Nice one overall.

Bottle at Pre-GBBF Shindig 2015. It pours clear deep amber with a medium white head. The nose is soft, juicy, floral, candied citrus peel, peach, brioche and honeysuckle. The taste is crisp, bitter, straw, cereal, floral, honeysuckle, grass and some tropical fruit notes. Medium body and fine carbonation. Drinks pretty easy. Decent enough.

Hazy gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, fine carbonation. Light pale malts with a modicum of creamy sweetness. Slightly bitter floralness leads to a mild orange and a trace of tropical fruits. Mild hop spice and bitterness before a dry finish. Grapefruit peel linger. A tad dry but clean, well balanced and drinkable.

500ml bottle. Clear golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Piney hoppy aroma, fruity hints of pineapple. Taste is piney and bitter hoppy, hints of pineapple, weak pale malty background; minimally mineral and chalky finish. Quite nice, the 3.8% abv correspond the the relatively weak malty backbone.
