Dark Star’s first fruit beer. A complex recipe using malted wheat in addition to Maris Otter barley malt with the new El Dorado hops for the primary fermentation before maturing with a hint of pure Spanish bitter oranges.

Cask at Pullmand, Hki. Clear amber color, tiny white head. Aroma of grandma’s red currant juice. Light-bodied. Earthy, berryish flavor. Quite thin but somewhat pleasant one time beer. Some leafy hoppyness in the aftertaste.

Cask at Craft Clerkenwell, Saturday 19th April 2014 Pours light amber with sticky white head. This is orangey and it does have a nice fruity orangey bite but overall I am a tad underwhelmed. A little furry bitterness its ok. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3

(Cask at Kitty’s, 20140405) The beer poured amber and clear. Its head was small, dense and white. Aroma had grass, citricness and sweetness. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were malts, herbalness, citricness, caramel and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. A somewhat weird brew but still rather drinkable.

Cask at Thomson’s. Pours clear amber, thin white head. Aromas aren’t as orangey as I’d hoped, but there are citrus and fruity hops in there. Taste has a good bitterness, some caramel. A decent bitter.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Darker orange in colour with a creamy head. Has a good citrus orange aroma, although a lesser stated in taste, but slips down the palate well.
