Lightly hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and slightly soft. Mild fine carbonation. Light caramel malts, little dry cream. Dried fruits and mild twangy bitterness. Little ripe orange in the dry finish. Not bad, bit flabby.

Bottle, from Sourced, split with Yespr on the train to Hostelboro, 28/02/14. Hazed orange amber with a moderate light beige head. Nose is mandarin, bitter grapefruit, caramel, earthy hop notes. Taste comprises dankish hops, red grapefruit, pithy citrics, caramel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a little hop bitterness. So so, a little clumsy in the make up.

330ml bottle from Sourced, St. Pancras. Pours hazy reddish amber, good white head. Aromas of resin and mango. Taste has a jammy sweetness and light bitterness. Creamy texture, quite high carbonation. Nice.

Bottle from Sourced Market St Pancras and drunk at home. Hazy ruby ber with lasting beige head. Resiny sweetish hoppy aroma. Now this I do like. If it was a touch more hoppy I’d love it. I like this sweet strawberry jam malt flavour. Sweetish jammy malty beer, the kind of beer I think someone like SilkTork would like. Little hop on the finish. Funny, I’d have this down as a mild. Decent beer.

Bottle at home from the launch at Craft Beer Co Brixton. Murky caramel copper pour with a thin lasting greyish cream head. Aroma is lots of hot fussel alcohol, caramel and berry with some twigs and orange. Flavour is better, orange, caramel, light tart hedgerow berries. Some plasticy phenols. Mellow fruity bitterness. Medium sweet finish. Medium body.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at CBC Brixton. Pours cloudy amber with a bubbly, white head. The aroma has note of pine, dried orange and grainy bread. Light to medium sweet flavor with lots of dry and lightly yeasty brown bread, further pine, earth, some leaves, a bit more dried citrus. Light to medium in body with soft carbonation. The condition seems slightly lacking. Mildly resinous on the finish with lightly toasted, dried bread, pine, hints of pineapple, orange, apple. Fairly tasty overall but it’s a rather simplistic beer and a bit rough around the edges.
