Bottle thanks to minutemat. Appearance - golden amber with a decent head. Nose - lovely orange and marmalade. Taste - tonnes more orange. Dried orange on the finish. Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - good beer.

Can at Appellation Wines tasting. Hazy golden body with a medium white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of chalky hops, tonic water and grass. Flavour of tangy sorrel and lightly roasted malt. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. Sharp and hoppy.
