An orange beer with a small disappearing head. The aroma is slight but with sweet notes. The flavor is lovely bitter with some flowery and spicy notes. It is brewed on an OK malt and has an OK bitternes, that lingers. Cask rating 4/5/6/3/13, Bottle condition rating 6/4/6/3/14

(Bottle 50 cl) Nice amber colour, lightly hazy from tiny, floating yeast particles. Fine, creamy head. Lovely - no wonderful - fruity nose from the aroma hops. Malty, almost fatty body with loads of caramel sweetness and delicate notes from the hops. Only slightly bitter. Very delicious. 040805 and 150906

From tap at YNWA. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Mild breadish and crisp bitterhops aroma, vague floral note. Light caramelish and fruity base flavour. Bitter and caramelish finish. Rather dry.

Bottle, SBWF 06. Clear dark golden colour. Small frothy white head. Rather bland flavour. Quite clean, a bit like lager. Not bad, but not interesting either.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, mediumsized creamy white head. A bit acidic and barnyardish hops in aroma. Flavour is harsh hayish hoppy. Also some apricot and other fruits. Not too good, felt unbalanced.
