It has a really nice combination of aromas, including grapefruit, lemon, orange, biscuit, honey and caramel. That orange comes through as tang in the mouth, together with grapefruit and loads of honey and grapefruit. It's a frothy but long palate that just lingers in the mouth. It's really nice.

Bottle, 10C. Golden amber with a white head that lasts quite well. Somewhat vague citrus (kumquat and a bit of grapefruit I suppose), a little passionfruit and strawberry, caramel, some pine. And the caramel and hops is all there is. Moderately sweet before fairly firm bitterness. A bit hollow in the middle for me.

Pale straw gold with a white head that collapses to an inch. Aroma of (bubblegummish) peach, mandarin, lemon syllabub, peppery leaves. Almost creamy texture is nice but given how fruity it is it needed to dry out more and have much more bitterness. But pleasant enough.

Bottle, 12C on a suitably ugly night. Deep clear amber with a fat coat of beige head that fades. Aroma of golden raisins, figs, toffee, grass, flowers, sweet shop spices. Gracious. 7+ Didn’t pick up any peat in the aroma, but there’s a little medicinal bite upon a taste, along with the fat malt and dried fruit. It doesn’t really belong and it gets in the way. Sweet and luscious with a little lean towards dry and spicily bitter at the end. Bitterness creeps up after a time. Pretty good.
