Keg draught at the Sheffield Tap. Pouring at 3.8%. Light golden colour with a little bit of haze and a full white head. A big rhubarb aroma from the beer, some bready notes. Sweet taste, so reminiscent of rhubarb Crumble.an they nailed it. Falls apart a little in the finish with a less balanced finish. Watery body, carbonation just on the heavy side. It's more clever than it is good, but boy is it clever.

Bottle at home on 24th December 2018, received as a gift. Rated as a novelty ale. Pours yellowy gold with shallow foam and spot lacing. Very sweet and lactic aroma. Rhubarb, custard and strawberry milkshake in-mouth. Sweet dessert finish. Zingy mouthfeel and a fair amount of body.

Bottle shared at Columbus tasting, 20/08/2018. A light hazed bright golden yellow coloured pour with a halo of white head. Aroma is really interesting custard sweets, pear, apricot, nice. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, dusty grains, custard, tangy pear, orange rind,. Palate is semi sweet light tang, moderate carbonation, little thin. Not bad.

Bottle shared in Canary Wharf - cheers! Pours mostly clear gold with a slim, creamy white topping. Enjoyable, pretty sweet, some doughy bread, white grape, melon, low bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, more gummy white grape, vanilla, rhubarb. Fun.

Level 6 Bottleshare. Thanks to Fergus. Light haze on this gold beer, no head. Palate is light and mildly dry, decent minerally crispness. Thin malts, mildly sweet. Rhubarb and custard sweets. Bitterish and slightly spicy undertone. Light finish. Amusing.
