Bottle, by way of a trade. Cheers Max. Mostly clear pale gold. Sticky leggy lasting white head. Easy 5. Nose has fully ripe mango and pineapple flesh. Big piny sappy character. Mouldy satsuma to boot. Nice biscuit malt backdrop. Yeah it’s fruity and dank in spades overall, though. All that and it drinks super easy. Impressively clean and a little dry among the hops and malt. Lingering sappy bitterness to finish. Met expectations.
Always lovely. This year super clean, tangerine and mandarin peel. Pine. Super clean, without any overly sweet note. Super moreish with the fresh clean dry finish

510ml bottle from brewery. Bright, clear golden pour, nice one finger foamy white head fades to a thin skin across the surface. The aroma hit me from across the table, piney, resiny, hoppy. Taste is all about the hops, sharp bitterness with some resinous notes and a touch of dank. Oily feel with a long lingering bitterness. ABV sneaks up on you.
Was in 🇧🇧 when this dropped in my area on draft, so was bummed that I missed out. Then, got a package from the 🐐 Friday at work, a 2025 bottle of Younger. Thank you so much TQ!
The Ghost and I are enjoying it on a nice spring evening outback.
Pliny be Piney - as always, a solid triple westy
LCI, still a classic.

Taste at the Weldwerks Invitational, 2025. Pours a clear, golden color, with a fair, foamy, off-white head. The nose is pine, hay, heavy phenols, chalk, and lavender. Dry and musty, with a nice, dusty bitterness. Medium to heavy body, crisp. Nice and aggressive.

Bottle, almost 2,5 years old, received as a gift. Pours a clear golden body and a frothy white head with pretty good retention. Aroma's of stale hops, herbal. Retronasal it's clearly not fresh, old hops, sweet, bready, bitter, resinous. Flavor is above moderate sweet & bitter. Above medium bodied. Soft carbonation. Long finish, sweet & bitter. Obviously needs a retry with a fresh one.

Bottle. Clear golden. Massive sweet malts, cocoa nibs, grassy hops, wheat, yoghurt, lemon zest, alcohol. Quite sweet and medium qbitter. Full bodied. Not as good as I remember as I'm sure I had the first bottled version. Classic beer.
