L4 Golden - ideal colour for IPA. Whispy head, but retained well.
S4.5 Wow! Satzuma is right. Big hit of oranges. I like it.
T3.5 Bitter orange doesn't quite work for me. Needs something else for balance.
F4 Little on the thin side but very good. Excellent carbonation
O4 Smells incredible, taste a little lacking. Worth a try though.

33cl bottle, bb in 8m.

Very clear gold, foam makes a vanishing act.

Aroma is pure satzuma zest. A lot of it. Nothing else.

Body is watery, taste is like someone mixed the said zest with water, leaving the result quite diluted. Yet not so diluted that there wouldn't be the bitterness of citric zest as well. Maybe it is the hops too. Does not matter as it is just ugly.

This exercise sounded doubtful from the get-go. Nothing works. Horrible.

330ml bottle.
L: Crystal clear, golden colour with a thin head that leaves some lacing.
S: Pithy satsuma aroma.
T: Satsuma and yet more satsuma. Semi-sweet. Pithy aftertaste.
F: On the thin side of light bodied with light carbonation.
O: In taking the citrus to the max, this pale ale loses its way. Starts ok but quickly becomes gimmicky and one-dimensional. Poor.
