Bottle at home in London - sourced from the brewery. Pours mostly clear, orange-gold with a frothy, white head. Rich citrus hop aroma, nice and dank, lots of orange and grapefruit, mango and papaya. Light to medium sweet flavor with rich, well-realised citrus hop character, buckets of juicy orange, some pithy grapefruit, light cleansing minerals, lemon rind, understated pale malt sweetness, slight dirty pine. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly resinous to finish with more clean and juicy citrus hop character, more orange, tangerine and grapefruit, light bitter and oily pine, moderate pale bready sweetness. Wonderful stuff, exceedingly drinkable. Not terribly different from the 02/09 but the hops are more expressive throughout here, particularly in the aroma. Great beer.
