Can picked up from Cotteridge Wines, Cotteridge, Birmingham. consumed at Fire in the Mountain Festival, Saturday 2nd June 2018 Difficult to be exacting on colour owing to green plastic glass that is festooned with a Northern Rock Patrons Project label. However I am fairly confident that it is likely to be grubby yellowy in colour with a white head. A little bit of pine resin on the nose, probably from the Chinook not sure what the Mosaic brings to the party in terms of the aroma, maybe a little tropical edge? Fruity in the mouth a little more polished than the Load Polly APA I had earlier. Citrus and tropical flavours combine in the mouth, it's very nice. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

Can picked up from Cotteridge Wines, Cotteridge, Birmingham. consumed at Fire in the Mountain Festival, nr Aberystwyth, Wales, Saturday 2nd June 2018 Difficult to be exacting on colour owing to green plastic glass that is festooned with a Northern Rock Patrons Project label. This is aggressively hoppy, I like it but it's really quite harsh and sort of takes it aways some of the drinkability. Fruit still shows but hops do barge in. Ok. A7 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.5

Can picked up from Cotteridge Wines, Cotteridge, Birmingham. consumed at Fire in the Mountain Festival, nr Aberystwyth, Wales, Friday 1st June 2018 Difficult to be exacting on colour owing to green plastic glass that is festooned with a Northern Rock Patrons Project label, but looking down into the it, it looks murky yellow with a slim white head. A pretty good bitterness for the style, juicy with a little rough edge which I really like, it's fruity and smooth but also a little edgy and more interesting for the style. Very good.

Can split at CBC St Giles, thanks to Fergus, 30/05/18. Hazed golden orange with a decent off white covering. Nose is bitter orange, grassy, melon, citric tinged straw, biscuit. Taste comprises orange pith, grassy bite, lemon rind, faint pine dusting, toasted grains, light bread. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with balanced juicy hop bitterness. Ok IPA but had expected a touch more as my first beer from these guys, based upon praise I'd read from others.

Can from Cotteridge Wines; cloudy light orange pour with a bubbly off white head, aroma has light malts and citrus, taste has weird citrus, some peach, petrol, not what I was expecting from a citra hopped beer. Another brewer with impressive branding but zero substance

Takeaway can from Crown & Kettle, Manchester. Resin, citrus and herbal aroma. Opaque pale amber orange. Thick foamy white head. Initially light bitter, although this grows in intensity through into the finish. Fruity. Orange marmalade, only with added hops. Medium bodied. A fizzy carbonation lifts the texture from being overly thin. Dry astringent finish. Good stuff. I'm pretty sure that a few months ago this brewry had about one rating but based on this can see why they're now highly rated.
