L: Hazy, bronze colour with one finger of white head.
S: Orange zest with a tang of white wine vinegar.
T: Pale malt with seville orange, root ginger and juniper. Nicely balanced. Easy drinking.
F: Medium body with a lightly slick mouthfeel and some dry finish.
O: An EPA with some Christmas spice added. All the adjuncts noted on the can come through nice and clean. This is a light version of the traditional Christmas winter ale and it works quite nicely.

440 ml can, from Left Field Beer, England. ABV is 4.5%. Slightly hazy golden colour, large white head. Aroma of orange zest, ginger and juniper, hints of blackcurrant leaves. Fruity and spicy flavour with the same elements, distinct orange zest. Moderate bittering hops in the finish.
