Can. Pale amber with a huge white head - topping the glass up after the head subsided from 3 inches made for a murky pour. 3- Aroma of kumquats, pine, mango, light bread. Sweet with little malt character but plenty of fruit and pine, some pepper. Medium to high bitterness. Decent, nice balance of hop flavours and bitterness stops it being too sweet. Nothing new but pretty good.

500ml bottle into glass. Clean distant hop nose. Hazy bronze beer with lasting white head. Irregular carbonation. Crisp in the mouth, a little zing. Excellent finish, tastes like a malt biscuit. Very similar to James Squire Amber Ale.

Golden and bright, but has a strong toasty character. Could be a touch old/oxidized, but also has little bitterness and I can only wish for some florals.
