Almost clear amber beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and smooth with decent fine carbonation. Soft creamy malts, just a trace of grain. Sweetish citrus before spicy pine that turns medium bitter in short order. Light tropical fruits and hop spice. Smooth finish. Nice balance of bitter, sweet, fruity and spicy. Only that light touch of grain is keeping this one under a 4.

Can. Hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Nose of sweetish pine. Palate is airy with decent fine carbonation. Light malts, some rye spice and an unusual kind of mild milky spicy floralness! Mellow but sweet candy fruits with light tangy orchard fruits lead to a mildly spicy finish. Unusual but tasty and pretty drinkable.

Keg at Junkyard, Nottingham, Friday 16th January 2015 Pours a wonderful gold/orange with a tiny filmy rim a little hazy. Bitter sweet orange dominates, real bustling bitterness, getting better and better with each sup. Really love the strident citrussyness, lovely bitterness. Great stuff. A8 A4 T8 P4 Ov16 4.0

Can from Healthy Spirits. Pours light amber with a white head. Aroma is spicy with light stome fruit. Med body or better. Flavor is pretty malty, and the hop is floral/spice/fruit. No single strong floavor of hop, but the sum is pretty hoopy. Finishes malty/hoppy/bitter. Seems a little butterscotch.
