Annual Putty rate... 9th iteration, thanks to Neal for the can, procured from their webshop I believe.
440ml can. Murky almost opaque golden with a white head. Aroma of fresh mango, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, herbal. Taste is the same, juicy fresh mango and pineapple, grapefruit, peach, herbal and dank with a hint of savoury, hop bitterness to finish. Medium-full bodied. Excellent.
Even if it's not the best ever Putty I think this year's might be closest to the original in terms of taste when I compare to my old notes. Certainly got a nice nostalgia hit drinking this one. Wonderful stuff.

Creamy white head on a milky golden coloured body.
Green hops, dank & grapefruit aroma.
Medium bodied, sparkling on the tongue with a smooth back.
Grapefruit, citrus pith, lime, dank & cereal tastes with an extremely bitterly hopped finish.
Hops to the limit.

Smooth, sweetish and slightly juicy with some grassy and herbal notes, pine, grass and tropical fruitiness, hints of bitterness. Still tasty.

Can from The Star & Garter, Bromley. Expected rich aromas of tropical fruits,pineapple, peach, zesty orange, grapefruit. Intense mix of all the above in the taste. Long bittersweet fruit linger. Have to say totally deserves its hype. Lovely stuff!

My first Putty... Hazy yellow, lasting white froth. Fruity, juicy, herbal hops aroma, more and more rubber bands later on. Juicy, creamy mouthfeel. Hoppy dank, fruity, stone fruity flavour, fruit peel and rubber bands. Mild herbal bitterness, smooth sweet malty backing. Yeah... this is good.
