The beer is vivid golden orange in colour with a good frothy white head.  It is one of the most attractive looking beers I've come across.  The aroma is of citrus fruits and oranges, with hints of pine and a mild spiciness.

On tasting there is a big hit of bitterness and big flavours of hops and Seville oranges. There are herby notes, particularly basil, and there's also a mild trace of parma violets that adds a little sweetness to the finish.

Hop Yard

It is copper in colour, with a spritzy white head that was short lasting.  The aroma was hoppy, with hints of grapefruit, sweet malts and toffee.

On initial tasting there was a massive blast of hoppy bitterness, followed by bittersweet grapefruit and citrus fruits, with a lasting bitter finnish.
