Bottle shared in Hackney. Thanks to Cloin I believe! Pours a rather fetching clear copper with a frothy, off-white crown. Musty leaves dominate the aroma, with accents of damp carpet and toasted grains. Light sweet flavour with some forward English yeast, burnt caramel, assertive bitter leaves, earth, old leather. Light bodied, somewhat oily, with fine carbonation. Finishes with more leafy and earthy hitterness, brown bread and toasted grains. Not the best, but certainly not the worst.

Bottle at Bodney Mansions, 31/08/17. Copper to amber with a decent off white cap that dissipates to a swirl atop. Nose is light fruit tang, biscuit, spice, brown bread, sour edge. Taste comprises brown bread, watery notes, thin flavours, biscuit, grains. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close. Weak and watery ... lowest ranked beer for me from this bunch,
