Here’s to the next 100 years!

330ml bottle. Clear, orangey golden colour ith huge, frothy, diminishing, off-white head. Grainy, strawy, husky aroma, wet straw, cowshed impressions, cautiously fruit hints of old orange biscuit. Taste is grassy, herbal, strawy, nutty, some weed, silage fodder, tobacco. Strange.

33cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. A golden amber pour with a thin white head; grainy aroma; strange herbal taste, with a trace of garden mint; and an unpleasant herbal bitterness to finish. Botanically challenging!

Bottle @ weekly tasting shared with Dutchdrebus. Clear orange color, medium to full sized off-white head that lasts for quite a while. Smell and taste malts, weird and horrible aroma and flavor which reminds me of rotting plants and fermenting shit. Total drainpour!

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours clear orange-amber with a thick white head. The nose is soft, doughy, orange sponge cake, tangerine rind, must and some burnt notes in the background. The taste is crisp, bitter, toasty, orange, tangerine, toasty grain, earthy and acrid burnt notes kicking about. Medium body and big foamy mouth-feel. Something a bit odd is going on with this one. Not great.
