6/9/2024. Cask at the 37th Chappel Summer Beer Festival. Pours clear bright amber gold with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is citrusy, tropical, hay, mashed, grains, touch herbal. Quite sweet with moderate bitterness and a slight spiced edge. Moderate body, oily watery, low carbonation. It’s okay.

Pretty much a clear orange beer, bubbly off white head that fades quickly. Palate is light and semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts, modest cereal sweetness. Floral hops. Ripe tangerine - mandarin, modest cooling pine. Quite a dry finish. Okay. Reminds me of many many Camra beers.
