5th August 2010. GBBF.
Hazy gold beer. Suddy white head. No carbonation. Light semi dry palate. Watery sweetish orange and grapefruit. Finishes dry. Dissapointing - really wishy washy. May have suffered on it’s travels.

From cask. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is acidic to citric. Dry hoppy, light yeasty and flat malty flavoured. Dry and bitter into a mild herbal hops finish. Bone dry finish. Rather messy.

Draught pint at CBC on 3/11/07
Pale golden color is augmented by copper-peach notes from the carapils and aromatic malts. High clarity with a small layer of off-white head that fades readily to partial-cover, leaving little/no lacing.
Sweet, lightly fruity aromatic malts in the nose seem to be about on par with the hops in strength. Lightly juicy, rather floral and with a light undercurrant of orange blossom honey and spicy herbs. Very soft on the nose, overall, and growing more floral as it warms, with strong honey notes from the malt emerging as well. Moderate acidity on the finish seems somewhat out of place, however. Not a huge fan of ahtanum hops....
Honey flavors from the malt and yet a coarse graininess from the two row as well. Dry, very well-attenuated, but with sticky honey and bready acidity building on the finish. Lots of zesty nectarine, lime and light tangerine notes from the hops, but they seem weighted down by some excess hop oils and the acidity. Low to medium carbonation, no alcohol noted.
