Unique

Grew up in England and developed a taste for English ales. Traveled a lot to Belgium and surrounding countries and grew to appreciate these European styles. Traveled to USA a fair bit, starting in the dark days when it was a beer desert, and then enjoying the flourishing microbrewery scene. Moved in 1994 to Australia which was then a beer desert, so grew to appreciate the excellent Aussie wines and my own homebrew. Now there is a flourishing microbrewery scene in Aus, which is great. I travel a lot to Asia, which was generally grim for beer, although with some interesting pockets of excellence there if you looked hard; but now several countries have good craft beers. I was a RateBeerian for 18 years (Oct 2007 until its demise in 2025), with username Pyobon.

Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7.5 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5

(Can) Pours hazy golden with big loose white head. Pleasant aroma of oranges. Medium bodied, smooth with plenty of fine carbonation. Good taste. Plenty of orange, from a tangy citrus start, through a very distinct orange mid palate and finish. There’s a little sweetness in the mid palate. And the slightest bitterness in the finish. Unusual, enjoyable and very drinkable.
