Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of apricots, orange peel, papaya, resin, grapefruit, white bread and a generous citric/tropical bitterness. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. A bit sharp, but really tasty and juicy. Very nice.

Draught @ Colahouse Pizza, Stamford (Jan 24). Hazy dark yellow/orange with a small frothy whitish head, faint orange aroma, low carbonation, initially mildly sweet orange peel taste with bitterness seeping in later, thin body, long bitter finish. Gets bitter towards the end but the ABV is otherwise well-managed.
