Bottle shared at the chriso and Ruth pre GBBF Shindig 2016 - London. Day 1. Pours hazy orange with a creamy head. Faded piney hops in the nose, toasted grains, leaves. Medium sweet flavour with notes of old grains, leaves, brown sugar. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Sweet finish, faded and crackery. Eh, not good.

The great ChrisO pre GBBF gathering. Hazy red - amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy and dry. Malts are caramelly and a little oxidised tasting. Some ripe citrus and hop spice. Mild grapefruit. A little messy really but okay.

Bottle from Trader Joe’s in Davis, CA. Pours dark translucent gold with a white head. Mango aroma. Near med body. Flavor is mango. Strong. Pretty much obscures any malt. It’s fruity, not very dry, not very bitter, just very mango. Ok for a change.

There really is a candy fruity aroma. Rather pale golden color with a thin white head- which disappears fast. I don’t smell apricot. The start is a perfumy fruit. I think we are talking some kind of tropical fruit. I am not getting that distinct hop finish, though there is some bitterness lingering in the background. Finally a passing hint of apricot. The carbonation hangs around and affects the flavor profile. This is damn unique.
