Bottle shared at Leighton’s gaff. Many thanks to Leighton for this fine brewery tick. Aroma is toffee, vanill, grain, hot alcohol, little spicy citrus hop. Hazed golden coloured pour with a loose white head. Flavour is composed of light earthy grains,, sweet toffee, spicy citrus, bit under attenuated. Palate is semi-sweet, moderate carbonation. Not bad first effort.

Bottle split @LKS thanks to @LKS, 27/05/15. Lightly hazed golden with a moderate off white covering. Nose is melon, straw, peach, light bread, tangerine, faint tropical vibes. Taste comprises tangerine, earthy mineral strokes, pineapple, light bread dough, melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok, drinkable enough but a long way behind other rews in this style in Londonsville.

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours lightly hazy golden - amber with a small white head. The nose is soft, juicy, apricot, stewed orange, brioche, grainy and dough. The taste is crisp, bitter, malt-driven, bread malts, biscuit, orange peel, pithy citrus, grainy and toast with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Fairly basic apa. Ok, but no game changer.

Bottle shared in London - picked up from the brewpub. Pours lightly hazy gold with a big, frothy white head. The aroma holds grainy pale malts, minerals, citrus peel. Light sweet flavor with some grassy bitterness, grain husk, flinty minerals, orange rind. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with flinty minerals, more grainy malts, some pine needles, rindy citrus. So so.
