Many thanks to Beersiveknown for this bottle. Very nice floral fruity nose. Not too deep, a bit sweetish, floral with sweetish grains. Not too deep, grainy neutral bitter finish.

Cask at Craft Beer Co, Covent Garden, London. A golden coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus aroma. Tastes hoppy, citrus, tropical fruit, bitter, pine. Bags of flavour in this fresh APA, nice one.

Cask-conditioned at the Rutland Arms, Sheffield, 1/12/2014. Clear gold in colour, with a tight, white, head. Big, tropical fruits, a touch of discordant green apple, and crisp malts. Finish was lingering and bitter. Perhaps slightly tired, but ok overall.

Cask stillage at the Birmingham CAMRA festival 2014. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a bubbly white head. The aroma is grassy hop with a little barnyard. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light skunky malt nettle citrus hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Light bodied with soft carbonation.

Cask at CPK during the pub’s 5th birthday celebration - London. Pours clear gold with a slight, white foam head. The nose holds rindy tangerine, some herbs, pale malts. Light sweet flavor with further rind, general citrus fruits, pine. Light bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Nicely balanced on the finish with soft resinous hops, some pine needles, rind and a bit of ripe tangerine. Very nice.

Keg at the Hanging Bat. Thin, fruity, tastes a bit like a mixture of orange and pineapple juice.
