Can. Clear gold/orange with a small white head. Aroma of citrus fruits, honey and melons. Taste of oranges, melons, malts and honey. Low bitterness. Medium carbonation. Refreshing. It’s alright but also quite unremarkable.

Third by cask, second day of GBBF Winter 20, Elgar Bar. Shared with Finn. Warm golden body, filmy white head, scattered lacing. Oily hops on the nose, hints of citrus. Quite well balanced taste of mid-sweet malts and citrus, moments of grapefruit and oily hops. Rounded bittersweet ending. Smooth on the swallow. Medium bodied. Decent stuff. (Birmingham 05.02.2020).

50cl bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden amber with a decent head. Nose - oranges and bread. Taste - orange barley water. Palate - close to medium bodied with a big tangy texture and a dry yet slightly sickly finish. Overall - the orange gets a bit sickly after a while.

500ml bottle from the brewery online shop. Pours clear gold, no head after about 5s. Smells like orange cordial. Taste is sweet too. Not sure what these guys were aiming for with this one, but if it was ’alcopop’ they’ve nailed it.

Amber beer with a reasonable head. The aroma is sour with creaminess, weird. The flavour is sour with bitterness, quite horrible it's grapefruity. What more can I say, don't like it. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle bought during vacation in Cornwall. Deep amber colour with a little head, aroma of fruit and caramel. Very dry, but not unpleasant. Enjoyed this beer.
