500ml bottle. Clear orange-gold amber pour, foam white head that retains leaving alittle lacing and aroma of malt caramel & tropical fruits with hints of citrus, hop resin, pine. Taste is malt with gooseberry, grapefruit citrus and some biscuit, through to a lingering dry bitter finish. Smooth mouth feel, soft to medium carbonation. Quite drinkable.

Cask, half pint at New Oxford Winter Ales Festival in Salford. Shared with Finn. Copper-gold body, fragile lacing down the glass. Notes of grapes and fruits to the nose. Grapefruit taste supported by mid-sweet malts. Dry bitter ending. Medium bodied. Likable (Greater Manchester, 27.01.2013).

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 21/11/2012. Deep amber with a slight white head. Aroma of tangerines and pineapple, with a touch of caramel. Flavour had plenty more fruit, a hint of toffee and lingering, dry finish. Very good.

Cask, gravity at Dudley Winter Ales Festival Sat 26th November 2011 with Bob Pours gold a little hazy with a white head. I think on day one this may have been a cracker but day three and it has started to wilt a little, despite this it is still one of the better beers that I’ve had here today. Little soapy hops in mouth with the fruitiness shows but its not as crisp as I guess it could and would have been, Likeable. A6 A3 T7 P3 Ov14 3.3
