Gravity poured, third of a pint: 24th Aug 2016, Peterborough CAMRA beer festival. Golden amber with a weak white head. Thought this was like a watered down version of their APA (4.3%), which I had in the glass by it’s side. So, this is citrus led and fairly subtle in its make-up. Expected more from both beers and because of that I did not try their other two brews at the festival.

Gravity poured, third of a pint: 24th Aug 2016, Peterborough CAMRA beer festival. Amber in colour, the head a thin white affair. Mild citrus front to both the nose and flavours, mixed fruits throughout and subtle compared to most APA’s I have encountered, even UK brewed examples.

Bottle at home, 12/05/16. Deep amber to Frank Coopers orange marmalade with a decent enough light beige cap. Nose is light must, pineapple chunks that have sat in the fridge for 10 days, light peppery spice, caramel malt. Taste comprises sweet malt, caramel sauce, toasted brown sugar, fruit loaf, toffee, candied orange peel. Medium + body, limited to low carbonation, sweet malty close with light hop bitterness. Unlike the VC that I had 5 weeks ago, the VF has not held up as gracefully. Hops have faded much more ... now more akin to an aged barleywine. That said if you want to pick one up ... it’s still sippable!
