Can split at Cotts Convention III, thanks to Jack, 20/05/17. Lightly hazed golden orange with a decent off white head. Nose is light plastic, sweet orange, floral, sticky candy. Taste comprises sweet sugary notes, Haribo gummies, grains, candy fruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Sweet and sickly … could not stomach much of this!

Bottle shared at Cotteridge wines, Cotteridge Convention III 20/05/2017. A hazed golden orange coloured pour with frothy white head. Aroma is tangy orange, wheat, little grassy. Flavour is composed of mellow, straw, orange peel, hay, harsh grassy hop. Palate is soft moderate carbonation, grainy. Lingering vanilla, damp hay. Meh.

2 x 330ml cans of this doing the rounds at the 3rd Cotteridge Tasting on 20th May 2017. Cheers Jack (jackof holmes) for those. Hazy golden yellow body, wispy white topping. Orange aroma and main flavour throughout, backed up with less sweet citrus esters and tastes. Interesting.

Can shared at the Cotteridge Wines Convention, Vol. III. Cheers! Pours unclear gold with a creamy, white head. Vague citrus in the aroma, some pale grains. Light sweet flavour with notes of rindy citrus, dry pale bread. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with soft citrus notes. So so overall.

Can at Cotteridge Convention 2017. It pours hazy gold with a medium white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, lightly tangy, sour candy, white sugar and orange marmalade. The taste is soft, sweetish, some dryness, limited sourness or tang, mostly candied fruits and sweet sugary action, gummy bears and some sweet orange. Finish is soft and sweetish. Light - medium body and moderate carbonation. A bit so-so really as I like tangfastics. More sourness required for me.
