Cask at Craft 100. It pours clear golden with a small, bubbly white head. The nose is fresh, floral, tangerine, apricots and candied peel. The taste is fresh, orange peel, soap, lemon peel, peppery spice, grapefruit and onions. Medium body, fine carbonation and slightly sticky mouth-feel. Good level of bitterness. The onion-like aspect is a bit off-putting after a while...

Craft100 fest at Craft Clapham. Cask. Lightly hazy gold beer, residual white head. Palate is light and dry. Big Apollo hop like garlic. Underneath is thin malt with a strong white smoke streak. Light dry finish. Weird.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham purchased and consumed the same day at mums, Worcester, Friday 4th April 2014 Pours cloudy yellow with a white head. Wonderfully hoppy with a nice pithiness, a little dustiness . This is nicely bittersweet, juicy with the bitterness coming to the fore and ending in a dry finish. A damn good beer.

Bottle from Beer Central, Sheffield. Cloudy, straw clour. Halo of white bubbles. Fusty, overripe mandarin. Some cut grass. Taste is woody dry, before the bitterness kicks in. Lifeless condition, though, to be blunt.

Bottle from Dave (thanks a million) [260314]
Light orange, hazy, big bubbly frothy white head, some lacing
Aroma of big citrus fruits, tropical fruits, lots of orange, mango, very fruity, very light sweet pale malt background, getting some gooseberry as it warms up, complex citrus aroma
Taste as aroma, orange, tangerine, mango, grapefruit, bitter orange, soft light sweet pale malts, huge bitter citrus zest
Palate - soft carb, medium body, soft smooth texture, soft light malts, very bitter zest. Finish has loads of crushed citrus zest, tons of grapefruit zest, long lingering very bitter zest that’s tempered by the light pale sweet malts. Great palate.
Overall - Absolutely superb APA, huge fresh zest, so much citrus. Often beers that are very bitter are astringent - this wasn’t at all.
