500 ml bottle, from Aberdeen Country Fair. ABV is 6.4%, 50 IBU. Deep golden to amber colour, moderate head. Strong aroma of caramelized orange marmalade and piney hops. The flavour has some sweetness, but not too much. Notes of "dusty" malts and some caramel, followed by piney and grapefruity hops, medium bitter finish.

Really solid beer, this. My go to sixer when I frequent a certain supermarket. Lovely balance between bitterness and hop forwardness. Higher ABV than your traditional pale ale but carries it so well.

L- Dark gold, thin white head fast clearing.
S- Like a fruit basket. Mandarin and lychee.
T- It is dry, and citric, elements of grapefruit also come into the flavour. It has a very contemporary APA hops-forward character...
F- ... but perhaps because that flavour is founded upon the heft of 6.4%, that solid body, it doesn't come over as an OTT hob-bomb. It's hoppy for sure, but as a sipping [vs slugging] beer I can deal with this level of hopping.
O- I can get very bored of the hipster mega-hopped/sillyname/cartoon-lable etc shtik but this one is far more interesting and balanced IMO than most. 330ml bottle, BB 11/12/19

ps. The lable has been redesigned from that illustrated above. It now features a pelican swooping down over hops and scopping them into it's bill.

Cloudy deep orange and a vigorous pour produced a fluffy white head - lots of lacing.

Tropical fruits - mango pineapple on the nose and a lots of malt - great.

Palate is full and complex - fruity and very malty - great balance.

Superb beer - modern and hoppy - not usually my thing but very well made.

Bottle pour into 2/3 pint glass

An appealing, slightly cloudy orange hue. Small loose head with moderate retention.

Smells suitably tropical, mainly mango. Tastes of bitter orange with a really nice sweetness behind the bitterness. carbonation is spot on; the mouthfeel is lovely.

A tasty well made beer; I really enjoyed this one. Recommended.

Cheers!
