Can thanks to Fergus at level 42. It pours clear gold with a thick white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, fruity, nectarine, white plum, peach, floral and bread. The taste is crisp, bitter, grassy, minerals, orange peel, stone fruits, straw and floral notes with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Crisp, clean and fresh. Rather nice.

Can at home in London - picked up at Kris Wines. Pours clear gold, lightly effervescent, with a frothy, pure white head. Great aroma, with lots of tropical fruits, some pineapple, papaya, mango and melon; quite impressed that these characteristics are coming from British hops. Lightly sweet flavour with some grassy bitterness, light dank pine, mango, peach, apricot, faint tangerine. Light in body with assertive carbonation. Quite clean on the finish, lightly drying, with crispy pale malts, some citrus rind, grass, pale grains, more peach. Great stuff overall. Very drinkable.

Can at gollem. Pours orange, smell is bit orange ( the fruit ) , some stone fruit as well. Taste is sharp, melon indeed, bit dry, very fruity. nice, but too much fruits for my taste. I like to try these style of IPA’s though ! it reminded me very much of the style of IPA’s that toppling goliath does

Tasting glass during Moor Tap Takeover @ Gollem from a 330 ml. can. Very hazy orange with a creamy off-white head. Nose is lovely fresh onion, garlic & low hay hop. Taste is a bit too heavy on the yeast for me, light malt, bit sweetish even, onion hop is a bit in the background, hay. Body is a bit yeasty. Loved the nose but I could have used way more onion & garlic in the taste. I admire the brewers’ desire for drinkability & balances, Moor beers strike me as something that I would pick up from time to time at the supermarket if nicely priced but here, I would like more excess honestly, more fresh onion & garlic hops, that is a personal preferences at odds with the preferences of the brewer.
