Bottle shared at the Cotteridge convention, 24/01/2015. Herts tick. Picked up from the brewery. Clear amber coloured pour with a lasting loose off white head. Aroma is sweet nutty malts, berry, satrawberry. Flavour is composed of nutty, sweet berry touch of lavender. Palate is mellow, easy going, semi-sweet. Decent fruit esters.

Bottle shared at the Cotteridge Convention 2015. Pours clear amber with an off-white cream topping. OK stuff, some grainy bread, ripening berries - classic bitter stuff. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with further ripe berries, some leafy hops - of course! - and more grainy and lightly toasted bread. Bog standard bitter here, folks. Serviceable.

Bottle split at the Cotteridge Bash, 24/01/15 thanks to Ferris - the UK one. Chestnut brown with a decent off white covering. Nose is toffee, dark fruit rind, light biscuit. Taste comprises bitter fruit, earthy, light spice, hint of chocolate. Medium bodied, moferate carbonation, semi drying close with a bitter wash. Ok bitter.

24th Jan 2015: shared bottle at the Cotteridge Wine meet. Poured a good looking amber, on top a white to off-white covering. Nice blend of malts and hops in both the aroma and taste with a good balance between them. Semi-sweet yet a mild citrusy bitter finish ends each sip.
