Lightly hazy gold - amber beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is light and minerally crisp. Bright hops - fresh orange peel, marmalade and a little lemon. Touches of grapefruit and juicy citrus. Modest bitterness. Not much malt to speak of but it’s a crisp refreshing brew.

Bottle at GBBF 2015. It pours lightly hazy golden - amber with a thick white head. The nose is soft, juicy, grapefruit, pine needles, fennel and grass. The taste is crisp, bitter, straw, minerals, doughy, pine needles, toasty grass and minerals with a dry, bitter finish. Light body and moderate carbonation. Simple, crisp and easy - going. Not bad.

33 cl bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange with a small white head. Aroma is toasted malty, pine and grapefruit hops. Bitter, herbal. Dry and herbal dry bitter.

Poured from a bottle. Aroma is moderately malty with some caramel malt and light cracker notes. Some medium light honey notes with moderate hop character. Hops are mostly grapefruit and orange with some pine resin. Pours a hazy, copper orange with a smallish, moderately thick, white head that exhibits alright retention as it recedes to the edges where it lingers. Medium lacing with small legs. Flavor is lightly sweet with some cracker and light caramel notes with hints of honey. Medium bitterness. Moderate hop notes of mostly grapefruit and resin. Some light dank notes as well. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright beer but I was really looking forward to this one because I am someone who likes to do things. It’s honestly too malty and the hop character isn’t bright and fruity.
