Draught at King's Head, 12/29/17.
Light haze to this pale, brass-tinted, golden ale with a small, white head showing moderate-to-low retention.
Strong saaz in the nose shows dusty, leafy, green hop notes of pepper, dried herb and light grass. Big fruity esters provide the good stuff; pear, apple and a very light touch of pineapple. White pepper and big nectarine skin sits on the finish. Clean, snappy and with interesting, rustic and grainy notes but not overly cerealic. Low on the citrus element overall and importanly, very low on clove with no bubble gum or banana.
In the mouth it's soft, with a malty texture and engaging, tight carbonation. Good dryness with lightly nutty/biscuity malts and big fruity esters and floral hops lingering on the end. Maltiness really makes this special, with light specialty malts providing complexity without over-drying the texture. Dry, snappy finish with yellow fruit skin-like notes (apple, nectarine, pear). Excellent surprise and encouraged to try more!

Pours a hazy, light golden-yellow, with a nice, medium cap of lasting foam. Aroma is grassy, citrusy, with some breadiness to it. Flavor is citrus and grass, with a light sweetness and some pine/spruce hop flavor in the finish. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Enjoyed at The King's Head in Portland last night. Hazy golden colour with a white head, good retention and lacing. Loads of citrus with grapefruit and orange and a nice sweet yeast. Some grassy hints comes out after swirling. A little grassier in the taste but still nice orange juices with the softening of the oats. Quite a nice fresh juicy DIPA that just feels like a good IPA.

Dan's Stag. Train rate. Thanks to Leighton for the can. Very hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and fairly dry, good fine carbonation. Fluffy malts, reasonably sweet, very light creamy sweetness. Nice light piney hop and mild hop spice. Light piney citrus. Trace of lemon on the back end. Very easy drinking.

Can shared on the train to Bristol. Thanks to Phil. Pours hazy yellow-gold with a fluffy, white head. Nice aroma, fresh and pithy citrus, lemon peel, a little grapefruit, background pale malts. Light sweet flavour with some pectin, tangerine, mellow rindy bitterness, lean pale malts, more grapefruit. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, more pithy citrus, lemon and grapefruit, mild warmth, restrained bitterness. Super drinkable.

16 oz. can. Purchased at Spruce Creek Provisions. Murky orange juice appearance. Aroma is orange peel, citrus, melon, and mild cracker malts. Taste reflects the orange, some grapefruit, cracker malt backbone/ base. Hints of pineapple. Finishes with mild pine like/ and pith bitterness. Overall, my second beer sampled from this Brewer. The flavor is bold and displays the hop nicely.
