Bottle from Stirchley Wines, Birmingham. Hazy, pale amber. Thin, filmy, sticky, white head. Sweet, fusty (but in a good way), pink grapefruit, juicy, and some kind of minty herbiness going off. Very intriguing. Taste is that brûléed grapefruit, tastiness, that these DIPA’s lean toward. I’m all for it. Possibly the only beer with honey (other than Bracia), that I’ve really enjoyed.

BBE 31st December 2015 - Pours clear golden orange with a thick white head. Aroma of floral hops, grass, citrus, crisp caramely malts and hints of sweet juicy fruits. Taste is malty, bitter and floral hoppy with hints of sweet juicy fruits and herbal notes. Finish is malty, hoppy and herbal hoppy with some bitterness and crisp fruity notes. Okay DIPA, but nothing special.

Keg at The Hanging Bat. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Light carbonation. Nice lacing. Aroma of mango, minerals and pine. Flavour of sweet satsuma, caramel and a hint of mint. Tastes quite light for the ABV - no hint of alcohol burn. Medium body with an oily texture. Light fizz. Very tasty but not particular distinctive or memorable.

Hazy tan, thin head. Passion fruit, starfruit, grapefruit, gooseberry, quite a bit of pale malt and a touch of alcohol. Soft body, mandarins at Christmas, grapefruit meringue, touch of citric acid...this is quite smooth for the style. You know it’s sugary but you don’t really think of it as a sugary beer.

Bottle shared with Marsiblursi @ Haket. pours tiny hazy golden with a frothy white head that slowly dissipates while leaving a small trace on the glass. Smell is fruity and tiny herbal with crackers, pineapple juice, pink grapefruit juice, freshly cut grass, pine needles, mango, papaya and lemon zest. Taste is tiny sweet, bitter and fruity with crackers, honey, grapefruit juice, pineapple juice, lemon zest, pine needles, freshly cut grass, corn bread, mineral water, mango, apricots and lemon grass. Mouthfeel is soft, astringent and medium bodied. Finish is bitter and fruity with crackers, corns bread, honey, grass, pine, grapefruit rinds, unripe tropical fruits and black currant leaves. Not 100% fresh but still pretty damn good.

330ml bottle from Beermoth. Pours hazy orange, intense yet crisp taste with subdued honey elements, floral hops, subtle corn, some citrus and a decent bitterness, although the alcohol gets a bit strong towards the end. Another delightful beard-stroking beer from Siren.
