Cask at IMBC 2013. It pours clear golden yellow with a small white head. The nose is sweet orange, tangerine, juicy fruits, light toast, grass and pine. The taste is crisp, big orange character, tangerine, peach, mild tartness, floral, pine and straw with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Fruity, tasty and damn drinkable. Great stuff. Also a big fan of GLC, so this beer is a dream come true...

Hand-pulled half-pint at Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, Oakengates on 10 Oct 2013. Golden, clear and bright; small white crown. Floral, herb and spicy hop nose: taste follows the same way, but with a mild malt sweetness. Light flavours but they work nicely: I’ve been impressed with all the beers I’ve had from these guys.

FUBAR (F...d Up Beyond All Recognition): half-pint in Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, Oakengates on 10 Oct 2013. Golden, crisp and sharp: hop bitterness from the start. Wasn’t sure what to expect, it certainly impressed. The aroma was a mixed bag with spicy hops and grains, as was the taste, with the aforementioned hops to the front. Different and interesting, don’t normally have keg style dispensed beers, glad I did on this case.

0.33l bottle. A near clear deep golden one with a nice small short lived just off-white head. Fresh hoppy aroma, some apples, mineral water, fresh cut watermelon and it has a generally really fruity-hoppy nose. Not bad at all. Almost candy sweet in the taste, but it's not to sweet in any way. Well hopped, fruity and quite tasty. Lingering hoppy aftertaste with again a clear hint if apple. Lots of flavor in a small wrapping. 07.09.2013

330ml bottle. Clear golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, crackling, white head. Intense yeasty aroma, slightly grainy, strawy, fruity, minimally peppery, very cautious hints of apricot. Taste is bitter hoppy, yeasty, strawy and minimally fruity, minimally peppery, some warming alcohol. Not overly complex, not overly fruity, but strictly "stylish".
