Can at Byron, Bury St Edmunds. Low key orange aroma with malty notes. Hazy mutes amber. Thin frothy translucent white head. Light bitter. Sweet edged citrus bite. Some spice. Light bodied. Thin. Average prickly carbonation. Long dry finish. Served in a frozen glass which presumably dulls down precedings. OK SIPA.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from the brewery. Pours black-brown with a modest, foamy brown head. Medium sweet with strong earthy-ashy roast, bitter cocoa, tobacco, charred leaves. Medium bodied with massaging carbonation and velvety texture. Bitter and ashy in the finish, strong lingering roast, black coffee, bittersweet dark chocolate. Pretty good stuff, really.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from the brewery site. Pours unclear orange with a small, fading white foam head. Decently juicy, some fleshy tangerine, mango, a little raw hop, orange rind, pine. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Pretty bright fruits in the finish, a little further raw hip burn, more mango and papaya. Not bad.
