Bottle at the Grapes, Falmouth, 25/04/16. Golden orange with a decent off White head. Nose is orange pith, light spice, bitter tropicana, earthy hop. Taste comprises singed grapefruit, big mineral undercurrent, dusty hops, lemon rind, orange peel, light pine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with an earthy hop dusting. Ok but lower end for the style, overly raw and minerally and lacking finesse.

Small white head. Hazy opaque orange body. Fruity plastic aroma. Dryish citric tea taste with mealy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, mealy mouthfeel. Dryish funky orangey aftertaste with mealy notes. Unusual, but not a winner. (0.33l bottle, from a Clerkenwell shop.)

Cask @ Victorian Craft Beer Café, Halifax. Golden with a glow, and a thick head. Has a stated enough hoppy character, although the ale’s crispness also feels a tad thin in the palate. There’s some fruitiness here.
