Bottle shared at Chris and Ruth Pre-GBBF 2017 tasting - London. Cheers! Pours hazy orange with a frothy, off-white head. The nose holds twigs, leaves, earth. Light sweet flavour with more earthy hops, leather, leaves, toasted grains. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Dry earthy finish, more leaves and toasted grains. So so.

Bottle at C&R Pre-GBBF Tasting 2017. It pours cloudy amber – brown with a medium white head. The aroma is soft, bready, biscuit, stone fruits, apricot, persimmon, hay and cereal. The taste is dry, bitter, earthy, biscuity malts, tangy, zesty, orange rind, hay, wood and herbal accents. Light – medium body and average carbonation. Needs a bit more punch. Comes across as a fairly ho hum bitter.

The great pre GBBF bottleshare at ChrisO’s. Hazy amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry, modest carbonation. Sweet creamy malts. Dried fruits and ripe citrus. Mild esters. Dry finish. Passable but a bit flat.

Bottle shared at Chris & Ruth’s pre-GBBF Shindig 2017 - Part 1. A slightly hazy amber beer with a mid-sized most good lasting off-white head. Aroma of reddish malt, herbs, yeast. Taste of reddish malt, nuts, spices, yeast, strange!
