Bottle at home in London - picked up at BottleDog London. Pours clear, honey-gold with a billowing off-white cream head. Lightly toasted bread in the aroma, some biscuits, orange peel, pine needles. Light sweet flavor, a little bit muddled, with grainy malts, slight piney bitterness, rindy citrus, minerals. Light bodied with average carbonation and massaging texture. Finishes with faint resin, more subtle toasted malts, rind, some pithy grapefruit, orange peel. There’s not a whole lot to it, but it drinks pretty easily, so that’s nice.

Hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry, fine minerally crispness. Thin malts, a little cream and a touch of unsweet toffee. Hops bring a decent hop skunk and pine. Mild hop spice and a spot of ripe orange in to marmalade. Smooth finish. Well joined up and tasty.

Bottle at The Bottle Shop London. Clean hoppy some sweet malt. Lovely hop malt mix. Good beer.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; clear amber pour with a big frothy beige head, aroma has a hint of pine along with some winter fruits, taste has toffee, some grapefruit, autumn leaves, light bitterness.

Cask at Mr Foleys Leeds, Friday 13th November 2015. Reddy amber in colour with a nice creamy off-white head. Nice steady hoppy nose. not too pushy, in fact the Autumnal tag works quite well, a touch woody, Loz suggests a bit peachy/apricoty. It’s a good, it’s uncomplicated, fine. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3

Bouteille 33cl, gyle#67/68. Léger ambré, col épais crémeux blanc-cassé. Arôme offre un léger rétro-nasal caramel, malté, graisn cooncassés avec une once de fruité s’apparentant plus à des baies. Le tout est assez surprenant compte tenu de la deScription put^tot agrumes-tropical des houblons annoncés sur l’étiquette. En cherchant plus loin, je note un bouquet rappelant fébrilement le thé vert. Palais est agréablement houblonné d’où se note une fine amertume. Le malté reste cependant la part dominante de cette bière et offre un fini sec - crisp. Citra est minimaliste tout comme le Mozaic. Possible touche de mangue, pointe d’oignon en poudre avec encore ce côté baies rouges qui sort peut-être de la levure et du mélange des malts crystal-cara pâle. S’inscrit dans l’idée de série automnale, expliquant ce fruité de baies? Pas mauvaise, mais juste ce sentiment que le malt obscure un peu trop le caractère des houblons.
