Cask @ Pumproom, Halifax. Blonde with a small head. The orange influence is light but consistent and lingers in the palate. It’s sweet too and this provides for a heavy bubble-gum aroma.

Sampled from bottle @ Danish Ratebeer Gathering Ulfborg 2016, Day 1. Slightly unclear a bit rusty orange color, average sized white head that leaves nice lacing. Smell and taste are both very perfumy, weird strong floral and somewhat sweet and spicy flavor initially, with a strong bitter finish. Don’t like it.
