Bottle from the brewery. Hazy amber. Thin, white head. Fusty, papery hop. Fusty malt. Plenty of the Belgian yeast. Taste is dry. Light tart. Light bitter. Some white grape. Chewy, oily palate. Finishes dry, light smoke, bitter. For me, a miss.

Hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is slightly soft with fine carbonation. Vague oily feel. Smooth malts, surprisingly smoky! Hops are resinous crystallised fruits - tangerine readily identifiable, fairly bitter. Finishes smooth and light with some peel bitterness. Not bad but the smoke is unnecessary and unwelcome and brings down what could have been something very good.

Bottle from the Bacchanilia, Mill Rd, Cambridge, consumed at Frank (camper) Cabbage Moors campsite, Great Shelford, Cambridge, Monday 9th June 2014 Pours hazy amber with very little carbonation. Aroma is a little smokey, taste is bitter curly dry orange with a furry finish. Loz gets Islay but I don’t, it is good though, however I think I like it much more than Loz. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

Thnx to Man-Ki Pours orange , small white head . Smell is smokey Taste is bitter , smoked , bitter aftertaste . Surprisingly enough , none of the 5 beers tasted today by this brewery are drinkable . The artwork is pretty nice, but that does not justify the whopping overpriced-character here . Like 7 euro’s a piece at the brewery itself ? This is probably one of the worst breweries one could imagine . I mean, respect for everyone , but these beers are not made for consumption. If a beer fails, than you must be manly enough to admit it failed , and not sell it for 5 times the price of a Good beer !

Thanks. 500 ml. bottle sampled @ “Poppyland Sucks Tasting” @ the Barely legal tasting room. Pours a hazy orange with little white head. Smells like oily grapefruit hops mixed with sugar and smoke plus some burning plastic. Tastes of smoke, bitter oily grapefruit hops, sweet caramel, juniper berries, lingering smoke, bitter herbs, burning plastic. Bit watery and oily. No way is this how it was meant to me. Still this one was easily the least terrible of the 5 Poppyland beers that we tried.
