Crowler from BD Castlegate. It pours hazy orangey - copper with a bubbly white cap. The aroma is sweet, sticky, tangy, rich tropical fruit character, deep mango action, juicy nectarine, passion fruit, coconut and marmalade. The taste is initially dry and bitter, sticky and resinous, some spice, then it sweetens up, tangy orange marmalade, orange gummy bears, mango, toothy and a kick of booze. Medium+ body and lowish carbonation. Perhaps sits a bit heavy, could have been a bit more carbed. Not bad anyhow.
