Bottle at home in London - picked up at Offie & Toffee. Pours totally clear gold, lightly effervescent, with a frothy, white head. The aroma has pale biscuit, faintly aged pine, a little cracker, rindy citrus, orange, white grape, golden raisin. Light-medium sweet flavour with further crackery malts, assertive piney bitterness, rindy citrus, orange. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Lightly resinous to finish, with more piney notes, biscuits, dry bread, bitter hay, some grass, orange rind, pithy grapefruit, hints of white grape. Good stuff overall. A little fresher and I’ll bit this would be even better.

Light haze on this gold beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is light, fairly dry and has a fine minerally crispness. Light malts, mild sweetness and a trace of cream. Good hops - fresh orange, orange peel, marmalade, hop spice. Pine and a touch of tropical fruits. Light finish. Mild peel bitter linger. Nice beer, but style wise - the hops overwhelm the any lager character and I reckon you would struggle to identify it as such blindfold.

The taste is crisp, clean, bitter, grassy, pine, lemon-lime, straw, pepper, grapefruit with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Works rather well. Tasty.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Cotteridge, Birmingham, consumed at whilst making a Spag’ Bol’, Wednesday 4th May 2016 Amber in colour with a white to off-white head. Hoppy nose, a soft metallic and mineral edge also. Fruity in the mouth with a touch of zippy orange but the lager elements also in evidence as I get the metallic tinge in mouth also. Nice hoppiness throughout, good beer. A7 A3 T8 P4 Ov14 3.6
