Keg at Tap Craft Beer Bar, Singapore. Hazy golden, creamy head. Fruity nose with some star fruit and citrus. Mid sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Fruity and resinous, some citrus and tropical fruits. Rather brutal resinous bitterness.

The beer I'm drinking is different to the description as it's only 9% ABV. I get aromas of orange peel, nectarine, marshmallow, cherry and nougat. The taste is very bold. There's more cherry, plus grapefruit and pine needles galore. It's very smooth, though the alcohol leaves its mark half way down your oesophagus .

T42 Christmas Bottleshare. Big thanks to Tips for the Aussie bottle hall. Light haze on this gold beer, small white head. Light palate, semi-dry and with decent fine carbonation. Smooth but thin malts, sweetish. Mild peach, a little ripe citrus. Smooth pine and light pineapple. Mild hop spice. Smooth finish. Pretty good.

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Tipple. Pours clear yellow with a small, foamy white head. Lightly aged pine needles in the nose, ripening lemon, pale bread. Light to medium sweet flavour with further pale bread, low bitterness, fairly Ricky citrus fruits. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, with more bready pale malts, low bitterness, ripe lemon. Good stuff.
