Cask gravity at Croydon Craft 2016. It pours lightly hazy amber with a quickly dissipating white head. The nose is rich, sweet, fragrant, orange blossom, tangerine, peach, marzipan and brioche. The taste is bitter, resinous, perfumed, orange peel, waxy, oily, grassy with a dry finish. Medium body, fine carbonation and slick mouth-feel. Rather decent.

Cask gravity at Croydon Craft 2016. It pours clear amber with a decent bubbly white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, orange blossom, peach, apricot, gooseberry, brioche and orange muffin. The taste is smooth, bitter, oily, orange sponge cake, waxy citrus, orange blossom, straw, pepper and cereal with a dry, citrusy finish. Light - medium body, soft carbonation and oily mouth - feel. Not bad, could be done with a touch more carbonation.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from the Richmond Brewers’ Fair, pours clear gold, effervescent, with a creamy white head. The nose holds pleasant citrusy hops, pale bread, tangerine, peach. Light sweet flavor with some rindy citrus, biscuits, some off phenolic notes, light plastic, hay, pale grains, hints of tangerine and grapefruit. Light bob died with average, lively carbonation. Lightly citric in the finish, with mild astringency, plastic, more biscuity pale malts, lemon rind, peach, mandarin orange. Close to being really drinkable, but the phenolics really detract.

Bottled. Yellow colour with a small fluffy white head, which disappears quite quickly. Aroma is fruity, floral, grassy and some wooden notes along with mild herbs and grains. Flavour is fruity, floral, some wooden and resiny notes along with some grass, herbs, cardboard and grains to it. Mediocre golden ale.
