23rd April 2025
A mild haze on this orange gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin feeling pale malts but just about enough sweetness imparted. Light peach and pine, kick off the hops.Tiny bit of Nelson grape on the back end. Galaxy fills in the gaps with some of its broad spectrum fruity character. A decently juicy hop profile if lacking some hop welly. Finishes light. Goes down very easy.

330ml bottle. Hazy golden, white head. Aroma of citrus fruits, orange, grapefruit. Taste is very citrusy, orange, grapefruit, mandarin, a touch of dankness and vinous notes, assertive bitter finish. Medium bodied. Lovely but I did hope for a bit more Nelson presence here.

Bottle. Beer Stop Dronfield. Looks like a haze boi! Beautiful Kernel swede though. Creamy malts hiding behind. Big pineapple notes. Soggy citrus and light sappy pine. Pretty glorious really. Taste has modest creamy sweetness first off with pithy zesty citrus bitterness. Drinks super easy with soft foamy carbonation. Gets nicely crisp and bitter on the finish.
