Bottle at home in London. Pours fuzzy, dark gold with a moderate, frothy white head. Sticky pine in the nose, some ripe citrus. Medium sweet flavor with juicy pine and ripe orange, some berries, lightly toasted pale malts and grass. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Mildly resinous to finish, hints of alcohol warmth, toasty pine and grass, more ripe orange and other citrus. A pretty tasty, somewhat ballsy APA. Very drinkable with enough character to keep things interesting.

Bottle at home in London. Pours just slightly hazy but vibrant gold with a rich, lasting white froth head. This smells gorgeous, with loads of fresh citrus fruits, tangerine, juicy orange, some dry grapefruit. The flavor doesn’t quite match the nose in terms of goodness, but it’s decent. Lightly sweet with a mellow citrus character, hints of pine needles, some pale malts. Light bodied with fine, spritzy carbonation. Fresh and clean to finish with suggestions of white wood, lemon, tangerine, pine needles, pale malts, and grapefruit. This one starts like a rocket but fizzles out a bit as you work through it. Very drinkable, but I’m left feeling this beer could use a jolt.

Bottle at ChrisO Snow Tasting, thanks to Colin. It pours very dark brown with a small light tan head. The nose is coffee, roasted malt, caramel and a touch of brown sugar. The taste is light roasted malt, coffee grinds, toast, dark fruit, earth and a hint of tartness with a dry, roasty finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Drinkable porter.
