Bottle at home, 29/05/17. Reddish amber with a well appointed beige head. Nose carries a lot of plastic notes, caramel, sweet notes once you get past the plastic and light solvents. Taste is earthy, toffee, straw, grains, bread, fruit esters. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with earthy hop bitterness. Average for style ... the plastic nose did fade off in time but still evident towards the end of the glass. slightly too astringent in terms of bitterness and lacking overall balance.

Bottle at home on 26th December 2016, received as gift. Pours hazy brown-copper with pale brown diminishing foam. Pungent earthy aroma. Hoppy in-mouth with a bitter grassy kick, followed by a sweet finish of apricot, citrus peel and grapefruit. Zingy mouthfeel and a fair amount of body.

Hazy amber - brown beer, good cream colour head. Palate is smooth and airy, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft malts, mild cream and caramel. Decent orangey hop, marmalade and mild hop spice and pine. Smooth semi dry finish. Decent if unremarkable. T’n’T hops are blend.

Cask at the 25th Egham Beer Festival. A hazy, dark amber pour with a loose translucent head; and a sweet grainy aroma with some grassy hops; thick and soupy in the mouth, with a malty body and a prickly bitterness with a touch of citrus and some floral notes; leading to a dry finish. Satisfying.
