Cask at Peterborough Beer Fest. Pale amber. Pleasantly hoppy with light medium body and medium sweetness. Caramelly malt hides underneath flowery hops until a resiny salty finish.

Bottle: Hazy, deep orangey coloured, small foamy layer; quite a complex nose: toasted malt, molasses , citrus fruit, hops; solid bitter flavour, light bodied, but absolutely not watery; lingering bitter-malty finish. Considered the 3.7% ABV, a very fine Ale.........

An orange beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of fruit and lesser notes of diacethyl and flowers. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fruit - especially peaches, but also light notes of honey and flowers, leading to a dry bitter finish.
