The colour was medium amber orange, with a quite heavy coarse frothy head. The aroma had strong pineapple fruit, and resinous hops. There was smooth malt and orange fruit, with a long dry hop finish. This beer was intensely flavored, with strong hop flavours. It was awarded Gold at Brewers Award 2012, Trophy for Best in Class, Brewers Award 2012.

Note 1 I am not really a beer expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these beers. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2 You may not agree with my evaluation of these beers as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on freshness and intense characteristic flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
