A bottle at The George, Froome. ABV is 5.5. Pours a dark amber colour with a off white head. Aromas of citrus. Tastes of toasted malt, with spicy citrus. Quite a heavy ale for 5.5 ABV. Might need a second pass at this

6th DRG. Grape juice aroma, somewhat dusty. Flowery flavor with grapes, some hops and just a bit of cherry wood. I like the aroma more than the flavor.

Il gusto al naso va sull'orzo. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la continuità olfattiva è corta. Il cappello di schiuma ha una discreta resistenza. La grandezza delle bollicine è media. Il liquido è di aspetto cristallino. Il perlage è composto da poche bollicine medie. Il colore è giallo ambrato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è deciso. L'intensità gustativa è normale. La costanza gustativa è sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Al palato riporta impressioni di caramello, miele, cereali, frutta secca, resina, pino.

Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced via Ocado. Pours clear orangeish gold with a lasting, frothy white head. The nose holds lightly toasted grains, citrus fruits, a little jam, bread. Light sweet flavour with mild leafy hops, a little dried grass, more subtly toasted grains and bread, citrus. Light bodied with average carboantion. Decently well balanced on the finish, with bread crust, husky grains, orange, some rindy and grassy bitterness. Good and drinkable beer.

Bottle also from Tesco Marlborough - what are the chances! This is a good, strong bitter/IPA hybrid and very tasty it is too. It’s nice and cloudy with a good hit of malt and hops. There is a strong taste of fruit and the alcohol is nicely forward.
