IanExcellent09 Nov 2006 Pale copper colour with lasting off white head. Lovely soft hoppy session bitter. Some tangerine fruit. Grassy citric tangerine finish. Some yeast on aroma. Some citrus hop, juicy fruit in mouth, satsuma, then nice candied satsuma fruit finish. Impressive. The orange fruit is stunning. Great tangy hop finish. One of the best session beers I've had in years.
