Bottled@AIH53 (from AbM). Amber colour, mediumsized off-white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is caramel, mild toffee, some floral, wooden and herbal notes along with mild nutty notes. Flavour is quite similar, but also has some slight yeasty notes to it. Also the brew water feels like quite hard water.

Bottled@AIH53 (from AbM). Orange colour, mediumsized beige foamy head, which leaves lace. Aroma is fruity, floral, herbal and mildly grassy notes. Flavour is herbal, mild spices and grassy notes along with some sweetish, but bready, crisp maltiness. Balanced, and very refreshing, even though it flavourwise isn’t anything that special. Quaffable session ale.

Bottled@AIH53 (from AbM). Orangeish amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is kind of tropical fruit concentrate mixed witrh some slight catpissy notes as well as some floral notes. Flavour is quite bitter floral and wooden notes along with some nectary and tropical fruity notes. Fresh, but a bit too typical for it’s own good.

33cl Bottle on 9th Nov 2015. Misty orange colour with a lasting white head. Citrus hop aroma with a mini biscuit like malty presence. Taste was also leaning towards a citrus, hoppy flavour with a mild biscuit feel hovering just below the surface.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from Hop Burns & Black. Pours clear gold with a frothy, pure white head. Great aroma, lots of pithy citrus fruits, pale bread, nips of hay and crackers. Light sweet flavor a pleasant base layer of biscuity pale malts, then some pithy tangerine and lemon, touches of tropical fruits, a little cat pee, white bread. Light bodied with average carbonation and massaging texture. Well balanced finish with mild crispy pale malts, biscuits, more citrusy hops, a little drying pith. Supremely well balanced, with nicely nuanced hop expression and just enough pale malt sweetness to provide ballast. Outstanding. (November 2015, score: 4.2)

Bottle from Good Taste. It pours hazy bright gold with a decent foamy white head. The nose is rather nice....fresh, juicy, tangerine, dried mango, apricot and peach. The taste is pretty punchy - bitter, alcohol boost, tangerine, mango, apricot, orange marmalade, brioche, toasty grass and touch of spice with a dry, warming finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. A bit more alcohol than I was expecting given the abv. Saying that it is very juicy and fruity. A bit more refinement and this could be exceptional. Enjoyable nonetheless.
