Pours dark amber with a small head.Nose shows sweet malt, orange marmalade and spicy and earthy hops. Simple but quite nice.Hoppier flavours, more spicy but also soft floral notes and a hint of grapefruit. Sweet malt underneath gives a biscuity and orange marmalade character.Carbonation is too high.More English than APA.

Bottle. Rose gold with a small white head that never quite dissipates. Peachy aroma with oranges, grass and a little grapefruit, caramel. Fairly light-bodied, medium carbonation. Sweet at first with peach and light caramel, then citrus and pepper cut through towards a dry and fairly bitter finish. All very harmonious. Quality quaffer.
