Sampled at the Crooked Stave in The Source pours a hazy, dark orange with a ring of white head. Nose has traditional sour character, blood orange, apple cider vinegar, some wood pulp, soggy grist, dried fruit. Flavor is solid, apple cider vinegar which provided a nice bite, passion fruit, nectarine, celery, papaya. Full bodied, tart finish. Refreshing.

Bottle @ home, shared with arminjewell. Pours a touch hazy, dark orange appearance with a light brown head. The aroma has some lemon, honey wheat, twangy lemon, kind of boozy, tannic aroma. Twangy, lemon juicy, boozy, acidic, light toast, big lime flavor. Not my favorite.

King’s Arms Tap Takeover. Keg. Hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, mild crispness. Tart orange and tangerine, mild lemon acid. Sherry barrel? Maybe a trace if you are looking for it. Mild balsamic kicks in before a light semi dry finish. Decent.

Keg during the tap takeover at the Kings Arms - London. Pours clear gold with a white cream topping. Funky citrus aroma with touches of pale wood. Moderately sweet, with nips of honey, vinegar and lemon. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sugary finish, warming, acetic, with some citrusy tartness. Fine.

Keg at the kings arms tap takeover . aroma is really spicy sour, vinegar, malt, tart apple. Clouded golden onion coloured pour with a fleeting off white head. Flavour is sour tart Granny Smith apple puckering. Little vinegar. Spicy hop. Palate is super taet sour, refreshing crisp. Pretty high boost.

Keg at the Crooked Stave tap take over, Kings Arms BG, 25/04/15. Hazed golden orange with moderate off white spotting. Nose is tangy fruit rinds, wood must, spice, straw, pissy notes, light menthol, bitter orange. Taste comprises bitter citrics, light spice, damp straw, off melon, mango pulp, apricot, earthy, damp wood notes. Medium + body, fine carbonation, semi drying close with acidic licks. Solid enough sour, drinks below the ABV but also lacks some depth ABV considered!

Keg at Kings Arms. It pours cloudy orange with a small white head. The nose is soft, peachy, orange, candy, stewed fruits, candy and white sugar. The taste is crisp, tart, big acidic action, sour orange, booze, white grape, funk, vinegar and more acid with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Too much acidity for me.
