Bottle from Bridgend Service Station. Deep brown/ruby body with a medium beige head. Good lacing. Aroma of blood orange, caramel and wood. Flavour of bitter hops and flower petals. Medium body with a slick texture. Very fizzy. Lacks depth. I hoped for more from this.

Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is light, mildly dry and has reasonable carbonation. Smooth malts, mildly sweet with a nice contrasting and light rye spice. Trace of vanilla, almost barrel aged. Mellow orange and marmalade. Mildly spicy orange. Some bitterness on the end. Hangs together well.

Hazy gold beer, big pale cream colour head. Piney citric nose. Palate is light and mildly dry. Nice light minerally crispness. Light malts, thin and modestly sweet, Good orangey hops, orange peel and bitterish grapefruit. Malt cream develops underneath. Pine comes in before a light dry bitterish finish. An assured brew!

Bottle at home in London - sourced from the Hop Locker, Waterloo. Pours unclear orange-gold with a frothy, white head. Assertive hops in the aroma, some orange rind, grass, pine, grapefruit pith. Light to medium sweet flavour with sturdy grassy bitterness, touches of dry pale bread, more pithy citrus, bitter rind. Light to medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Finishes with further grassy and rindy bitterness, fresh citrus fruits, grapefruit, tangerine, just a hint of alcohol. Solid IPA on the whole.
