A tropical hop fuelled West Coast wanderer, the Armadillo transcends the ages, expect waves of zesty citrus rolling over local barley, giving a nod to the session ales of yesteryear, hop amplified for flavour, this is beer for the present day.

Hazy orange - amber beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate starts smooth but has fine carbonation on the back end. Light malts, mildly sweet. Fresh orange hops, some vibrancy here. Mild peel. Traces of hop skunk and hop spice. Light semi dry finish. Mild peel bitter linger. Crisp and bright and very drinkable.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Oddbins London Bridge. Pours mostly clear gold with a tight, foamy head. Great aroma coming off this one, lots of rindy citrus, pine, pale bread, crispy hay, orange, mango. Light sweet flavor with balanced pale malt sugars, mellow piney bitterness, pithy citrus, grapefruit, lemon. Light bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Great balance in the finish, more pithy citrus, subtle grass and piney resin, some biscuits, straw. Great stuff. Eminently drinkable. Excellent.

Keg at OX184. It pours clear gold with a thick white head. The nose is hay, grassy, straw, sweet grapefruit, passion fruit, and gooseberry. The taste is crisp, clean, bitter, grapefruit, orange rind, straw, pepper, dry grass and some light floral with a dry finish. Light body and fine carbonation. Easy drinking hoppy low abv number

Keg at Cobbles Inn. Clear golden body with a thin white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of passionfruit, chalk and orange pith. Flavour of orange, minerals, straw. Medium body with an oily. Soft fizz. Very fruity and moreish.
