Hazy golden. Aroma is orange, some slightly too long baked biscuit dough. Taste is bitter hops with sweet mandarin finish. A flowery note while swallowing. Ok but not great.

On my second Flight at the brewery on 30th Dec 2017. Hop laden brew that came with a slight haze in it's golden body; the head a smooth white affair. Citrus lead to the bitter flavours and aromas, more grapefruit like than any other fruits although those with a finer palate than mine might be able to pick up more individual flavours from the hop content.
