Can at home in London - picked up at the Richmond Brewers’ Fair. Pours totally clear yellow-gold with a frothy, pure white head. Dry citrus fruits in the nose, some white grape, pithy grapefruit, lemon peel. Moderately sweet, with a steady biscuity malt base, more pithy citrus fruits, slight minerality, touches of pine, bitter rind. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Pretty clean on the finish, with a nice pale, bready malt ballast, some ripening tangerine, orange rind, mild oily pine, melon. A good all-around IPA.

Cask @ Victorian Craft Beer Cafe, Halifax. Brighter golden ale with a thin head. The hop dominates as you might expect with a dryish tropical fruitiness available.

Third of a 330cl can on 5th Feb 2016: in De Bierboom during the 4th International Beer Exchange Evening. Nice! Black bodied (or very dark brown), on top a creamy head in colour and texture. How do you like your chocolate, if it is in liquid form you’ve found your beer heaven. Not a lot could get through the malty chocolate nose and taste of this very easy drinking Chocolate Stout.

Third of a 330cl can on 5th Feb 2016: in De Bierboom during the 4th International Beer Exchange Evening. My second beer from the huge selection brought by everyone in the room. As the style might indicate, this was a black bodied beer, the head a full and lasting beige covering. Slight citrus leanings in the nose and taste with a malty backbone that prevented the citrusy hops running away with the taste and aroma by adding a chocolate trace to everything..

Third of a 330cl can on 5th Feb 2016: in De Bierboom during the 4th International Beer Exchange Evening. Slight haze to the orange pour, wispy top. Tropical fruits rule the nose, they compliment the semi-sweet malt background and the more bitter hop front. A good start to an awesome evening.
