This beer was split between two fermenters, one part being hopped in the kettle with aged Scottish hops grown by the James Hutton Institute just outside of Dundee. The remainder was completely unhopped. The aged hop beer produced intense fruit and funk characteristics with a very subtle acidity, whilst the unhopped version was much more stone-fruit forward with a fuller acid profile. The blended result was packaged without any additional hops or fruit in order to showcase this mixed culture.

Bottle from Craig. He procided me with some people will like this, some won't. The tasting group was split down the middle. Cloudy, pale golden with a small bubbly head. Funky floral aroma, herbaceous. taste adds a small amount of tartness, coming amidst a lot of sweet, fruity, floral, herbal flavors and lots of funk. It did grow on me after a while.

Can sample at a tasting at Yoav's place. Cloudy yellow. Lots of vegetables, dill pickles, some funk, sourish-sweetish, graininess.

375ml bottle Sophie's Beer Store, shared with Eric and Sophie. Pours a misty yellow, large white head. Dank, creamy mixed ferm character. Interesting fruity notes with a strange sweaty side. Different, but likeable.

Bottle. Beer Central Sheffield. Hazed vibrant gold. Thin and dense white foam. Looks boss. Nose has wet cardboard. Plastic. Rubber. Popcorn. Grim. Taste is also grim. Earthy and woody with wet paper and burnt plastic. Not much point going on, as this is obviously not right. Awful.

Bottle thanks to cgarvieuk. Appearance - golden and hazy. Not much head. Nose - dank cucumber and slight woody undertone. Taste - wood and salad. Light nuts and green pepper. Palate - light bodied and long and lingering. Overall - complex and tasty.
