Bottle at home in London - picked up at THE Kris Wines. Pours mostly clear, bright gold with a thick, frothy white crown. Smells absolutely awesome, tons of clementine, juicy grapefruit, orange, lemon and papaya. Light to medium sweet flavor, more citrusy goodness but with a slight dry edge, some minerals, bitter hay. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Juicy, lightly resinous finish, some citrus rind bitterness, more clementine, mango, grapefruit. Very solid beer overall. Effortlessly drinkable.

33cl bottle from the Partizan Brewery. Hazy orange gold with thin white head. A little of the yeast from the bottom of the bottle got in. Earthy aroma with a little tea. Better in mouth. Still some tea as well. Soft and rather lovely in the mouth. Quite bitter and hoppy on the finish. Solid IPA. Yes good without being quite exceptional.

33cl bottle from the Partizan Brewery. Orange gold beer, a slight haze as a little yeast got poured in. Lasting off white head. Attractive citrusy aroma. It’s good. A little fuller after the Kernel Pale Ale. I wouldn’t exactly say syrupy, but certainly there is a fullness an alcohol presence there. Good light grapefruity flavours. Decent bitterness on finish. Fruity certainly. Bit of a sipper this one I think.
