Bottle from Two Brews, Colchester. Pours clear pale gold with a good sized white head. Aroma of citrus fruit, flowers, caramel, grass and hops. Moderate sweetness and medium plus bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Increasing bitterness to finish. Enjoyable aside from the high carbonation.

500ml bottle. Orange golden colour, creamy white foam head leaving lacing and metallic citrusy aroma. Taste is malt & grain, light toffee, straw, some marmalade citric, and a strong metalic bitterness. Medium bodied, soft to medium carbonation, dry astringent bitter finish. Quite OK.
