Bottle shared at chriso’s post GBBF minidig 16/08/2014 . Aroma is medicinal berry hop with a touch of resin, and alcohol. Clear golden / orange coloured pour with a loose white head . flavour is composed of nutty, slightly stale malts, chive hop, metal finish. A bit of hop berry flavour as well. Palate is medium carbonation and medium sweet. Pretty bad.

Medium sweet flavor with more mellow caramel, melon, citrus candies. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with simplistic bready malts, caramel and mild leafy bitterness. A lowest common denominator IPA.

Bright clear gold - amber beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is light and crisp. Mild minerals. Airy malts, little creamy sweetness. Hops are pretty light - mild citrus, touch of marmalade. Light semi dry finish brings a little dry floralness. Fine.
