Bottle. Appearance is very clear, golden, lots of carbonation, a big foamy white head of 1-2 fingers which lasts. Aroma- lots of fruit- grapefruit and orange, lemony, fresh hops. Taste- medium to full mouthfeel. Lots of hop bitterness, citrus fruit hints, malty, caramel undertones, bitter orange. Impressive.

On keg at Sheaf View, Sheffield - clear amber body, little or no head. Bitter cuitrus on the nose, grapefruit and tropical in the front. Taste has a harshness that is both sweet and bitter, almost barley sugar, with a long sour ending. Not bad.

Clear dark golden. Not much head. Aroma of bitter orange marmelade and chocolate biscuits. Similar taste, with chocolate sweetness. Low carbonation.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Golden with a head. Good fruity tropical nose, although as it has plenty of strength its taste is a little more subdued but still citrus notes you associate with the tropics.

Bottle, at Nærbø Ølfestival 2013. It pours a clear, pale golden beer with a minimal sized off-white head. Cheesy nose with some citrus peel and flowers, pale malts in the back. The flavor has pale malts as a backdrop for citrusy, cheesy hops. A nice bitterness too. Dry, medium bodied and with a pleasant carbonation level. Bitter finish. A boring one, that drinks easily. 131019
