US Pint at Stadium Brewing on 10th April 2025. Came so cold I couldn't smell or taste anything for a good five minutes. Slight haze to the amber/brown body, thin off-white head. Bitter hops, no citrus, it's woody, earthy and I suppose has a tea like feel in the finish.

1 month old (canned Nov 10th, drank Dec. 17th). Amber body, with a medium, slightly yellowish head. Aroma of fresh hops, grass, tea, toffee. Tastes similar. Medium mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes hoppy, malty, with tea, citrus. Very nice, old-school Bitter. Lovely hoppy and tea-like notes. Not outstanding, but quaffable. Score: 7 / 4 / 7 / 4 / 15

On tap @ Russian River. A bit hazy golden appearance with a white head. Aroma is pretty herbaceous and green. Slightly woody. A bit of fruit. Fairly dry and moderately bitter. Chewy grassy / woody flavor. Ok but not exactly my thing.
