Keg at Port St Beerhouse. Pours murky orange gold like peach juice with a thin white head. Aroma is really peachy, a little apricot, some dough and a little zezty orange. Taste is a lovely peachy hit, a little bit of spice and funk and then a lovely mellow finish. This is really good stuff.

Tap, at the Barrel Store. Super hazy, apricot gold. Thin, dense, slow moving, white head. Nose has cake mix. Orange zest. Ripe stone fruit, particularly peach. Doughy bread. Underlying that, there's a light BA presence. Taste is sweet and bready, with some yeasty dryness. Soft and foamy mouthfeel. Pretty rich and smooth. Yeasty character throughout with a very light hint of the barrel ageing. As it stands, I preferred the base beer a lot more. This has lost it's vibrancy. Maybe it needs longer in the barrel?
