330ml bottle from Chez Sophie in Shrewsbury: BB 8th Aug 2021. Drank at home four days before it's BBD! Full white head sits on the hazy golden body, citrus esters fill your nose and a blend of citrus fruits and mild spices enter your mouth as you sip this hoppy little number. Not too sure about the added broad spectrum (a cannabis plant).

Bottle at picked up from HOTM. A alight hazed yellow straw coloured pour with a lasting frothy white head. Aroma is soft pale grains, straw, wheat, pithylemon and grapefruit, opal fruits, light lemongrass. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, airy wheaty grains, little chalky grassy citrus, lemongrass, pithy. Palate is soft frothy carbonation, little spicy grain, dry finish. Good mellow stuff. Not sure if the cbd did anything.

330ml bottle from Thornbridge Beer Club - Hazy yellow body, little white head. Nose is light and herby, bit of citrus. Taste is quite watery, bit of a herb tingle in there, expected a lot but I'm uninspired. Not so much CBD as CBA.

Light haze on this yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light pale malts, clean and mildly sweet. Hops bring a cooling pine that edges towards minty. Light lemon cut. Modest floral citrus. A mellow hop itch on the light and slightly fluffy finish. Delivers pretty well for it's modest 4.0%. I just wish Thornbridge's occasional flirtations with modern craft were a bit more frequent. Imagine this with more of everything, especially the hops, and it could be great.

330ml bottle Sophies Beer Store. Super hazed almost-greenish yellow. Foamy white head. Aroma is weedy, hemp, sweet, herbal. Taste continues in a similar fashion. Not entirely sure what the intended purpose of the cbd is. Make me more relaxed than the beer itself? Yet to be convinced this is not a fad, but then like so many other things I could look back on this in 5 years and CBD could be in everything. Beer is OK, nice sweetness running throughout, not too herbal and weedy. But does feel like a novelty.

Bottle. Wine Rack, Sharrow, Sheffield. Fully opaque, straw gold. Lovely white foam is glossy, loose, lasting, and lacing. Nose has pineapple flesh. Grassy hop leaf. Hint of pine. Floury grain backdrop. Taste has a moderate sweetness, with a light, herbal, mineraly bitterness. Light body with foamy carbonation. Short, fairly punchy bitterness to finish. Decent.
