Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours hazy golden with a thick off-white head. The nose is soft,sweet, juicy, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, apricot, sweet persimmon, freshly cut grass and wood. The taste is smooth, rich, soft fruits, bitter-sweet, orange, tangerine, grapefruit, straw, light sherbet, straw and toast with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Smooth, crushable and super-easy going. Brilliant balance. A joy to drink.

Bottle shared at the 5K/10K tasting, big thanks to Leighton, 30/12/14. Hazed orange golden with a big old off white/egg shell white covering that stays for the show - a looker! Nose is pine, juicy citric drippings, apricot, skunky hop notes, orange pith, grapefruit. Taste comprises pine, grapefruit, light spice, citric tinged straw, melon, apricot, fresh and earthy hops. Medium bodied, fine carbonation - pitch perfect. Top draw hop juice, world class, IPA #888 on RB and I don’t recall any better!
