6.6/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Can shared in London - big thanks to Fergus. Pours clear, rich gold with a frothy, off-white head. Faded piney hops in the nose, crackery pale malts, orange rind. Medium sweet flavour with strong piney and grassy bitterness, gooey orange, tangerine, more pale crackers. Medium to full bodied, lightly chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, lightly resinous, with more crackery pale malts, ripe citrus, pine, grass, husky grains. A bit faded overall. Not bad.

On tap at Bartlett hall. Crystal clear yellow pale coloured pour with a film of white head. Aroma is faint apple, lager notes, some graonstore. Flavour is composed of light grains, some apple. Simple beer. Maybe a little straw. Solid noble hop bitterness. Palate is semi crisp and frothy. Semi drying finish. Passable.

Can. StarmoreBoss, Sheffield. Took a punt on this, not knowing how fresh it might be. No BB date on the can, either. Anyhow, it’s pale, copper coloured, with a light haze. Thin, lasting, sticky, white head. Looks ace. Aroma is rich, gluey, resinous, overripe mandarin hop, with a bread and honey, malty backbone. Taste is fruity sweet, turning full, rich, chewy bitter. More of the chewiness on the palate. Finishes long, resinous bitter.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours hazy gold with a whitish head. Aroma seems Mosaic. Med body or nearly. Flavor is fruity, hoppy, very mildly bready. Finishes hoppy/sweet (best I can do with that), with some mild bitter. It is very pleasing.
