50cl bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden amber with a decent head. Nose - oranges and bread. Taste - orange barley water. Palate - close to medium bodied with a big tangy texture and a dry yet slightly sickly finish. Overall - the orange gets a bit sickly after a while.

500ml bottle from the brewery online shop. Pours clear gold, no head after about 5s. Smells like orange cordial. Taste is sweet too. Not sure what these guys were aiming for with this one, but if it was ’alcopop’ they’ve nailed it.

Bottle at Craig’s. Pours hazy gold with a thin white head. Aromas of lemon soap, floral hops, light white sugar. Taste is more lemon, quite astringent bitterness, which builds. Finishes bitter and a tad thin. OK.
