Bottle at Leightons Tree House, thanks to he of the tree, 02/09/14. Lightly hazed golden with a moderate off white head that retains. Nose is citric sherbets, straw, orange pith, mandarin, lemon jus, tangy, earthy hop notes. Taste comprises juicy citric peel, yuzu, straw, orange pith. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a juicy hop rinse. Ok SIPA/APA affair.

Bottle shared in London - picked up at the Lab. Pours hazy gold with a big, frothy white head. The nose has some citrusy hops, touches of Belgian yeast, pale malts, lemon. Light-medium sweet flavor with soft grassy bitterness, pale bread, some saison yeast, lemon rind, straw. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Clean finish with some further Belgian character, pleasant citrusy hops, low bitterness. Lovely stuff. Like a Belgian pale ale. Very refreshing.

Bottle shared at Leightons house. Thanks to LNS. Hazed golden coloured pour with a lasting frothy white head. Aroma is pine, varnish, grass hop. Maybe a little veg matter in there. Flavour is crisp straw and pale malts, tangy orange, citrus. Strange yeast character, maybe a little saison like. Palate is medium light with highish carbonation. Semi dry finish. Nice interesting beer.

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours lightly hazy golden with a small white head. The nose is soft, fruity, orange, spice, candied peel and sherbet. The taste is crisp, clean, bitter, citrus peel, sherbet, mild grass, light spice and straw with a dry finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Nice as punchy and bitter as I was hoping for. OK session-type stuff.
