Gravity dispense at EBF XX, EUSC, 02/04/15. Very lightly hazed golden orange topped with a moderate off White swirl. Nose is pale malt, citric sherbets, straw, melon, light vanilla. Taste comprises tangerine, straw, orange pith, apricot, bread dough, light spice. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Ok, more a stronger GB than an APA for me.

Bottle from Saucy Pears. Appearance - bright amber with a nice lacy head. Nose - mandarin and light yoghurt. Taste - tangy mandarin and yoghurt. Dry yeasty age. Palate - light bodied with a tangy and yeasty texture and a dry yeast finish. Overall - slightly too much yeast. Is this as intended?
