A punchy orange marmalade ale, brewed with American and English hops, leading to a sweet, crisp and fruit knockout finish.

500ml bottle: BBE Apr 16, drank at home on 25th Sep 15. Clear golden body with a wispy white topping. Orange like aroma with a more sour/bitter citrus taste, less orange, more grapefruit according to my taste buds. Dry fruit filled finish, a little too citrusy for my palate.

Bottle from Oddbins Tunbridge Wells and drunk on the train home. Golden lasting white head. it’s got some interesting hop and good bitterness. Very drinkable. And I do like the hops and good bitterness on the finish. made me smile.

Bottle from Drinkmonger. Clear golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of chalky malts, metal, orange marmalade and grass. Flavour of orange pith, grain and copper penny. Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft fizz. This tastes a bit like a hoppy version of a mass market Lager.

Cask at GBBF 2014 - London. Day 1. Pours very pale yellow with a creamy head. Nice biscuity golden ale, decent pale malt character, faint lemon rind, bitter hay. Light in body with fine carbonation; good condition. Balanced finish with some lemony hops, further biscuits. Good stuff.
