440ml can.
L: Copper colour with a light haze and clouds of microbubbles. Two fingers of off-white, soapy head lasts and lasts and leaves spotty lacing.
S: Muted.
T: Stewed tea and orange zest. Literally tastes like earthy English hops fighting against citrusy New World hops. Very odd.
F: Medium body, oily mouthfeel, dry and vaguely acidic.
O: This mix of traditional English and (UK-grown) New World hops doesn’t work for me. Over-hopped and unbalanced.

Poured from a 440ml tin.
Pours an ever so slightly hazy straw with a voluminous white head that laces nicely . The aroma isn't strong and is of light tropical fruit, hops and earthiness and the taste follows with a touch of sweet, grassy malt and an over ripe apricot fruitiness that works well before a complimentary citrus acid rounds things off. There's no discernable bitterness but the fantastic amount of carbonation really adds something to the fruit flavours.
A rather nice beer, light and fruity without overdoing it. Easy to drink .

Pint from regular draft at High Street Tavern in Manchester. I can imagine this being even better from cask but tasty nonetheless. Great hop profile with a creamy body and feel. Balanced finish with plenty of bitterness, as the claim is that it’s triple-hopped. As usual from TT’s, a delicious beer.

On cask at Town Hall Tavern in Leeds.
Pours a hazy yellow with fine head.
Smell is crisp, fruity and citrusy. Notes of crackers and peach.
Taste is crisp, clean and citrusy. Notes of peach and some crackers and tea. Soft bitterness.
Mouthfeel is medium, smooth and well carbonated.
Overall, a very nice, more modern TT ale. Still prefer the classics.

Can. Clear gold. Very bubbly with a lasting dense white head which provides some lacing.
Rich hoppy aroma. Tropical and hedgerow fruits with a bit of earthyness and perfumed soap.
The flavours meld and become somewhat unbalanced continuing to a rather harsh bitter finish.
Refreshing with medium carbonation.
Something new from the TT brewery.
