Keg at the Lisboa taproom, 24/03/22. Moderately hazed golden orange with a good sized lasting just off white head. Nose is sticky tropical fruits, bitter orange, mango, soft malts. Taste comprises pine resin, grapefruit, sticky tropical fruits, guava, orange pith, melon, mango flesh. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with resinous come sticky hop bitterness. Not bad at all for 12% ... sips ok but does veer towards a barley wine and is a touch overly sweet and lacking bitterness for my liking.
