Bottle. Drove Orchards. Looks like puddle water. Great big lumps of shit in there too. Bin juice head. Nose has an undertone of hoppy what could have been but overall it’s apple pomace and piss. Taste is super sweet with crushing rotten citrus fruit bitterness. Oily and very wrong.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo. Cheers! Aroma of citrus, grass, grain and cereal. Grass, herb and citrus come though on the taste. Quite malty and with a metallic aftertaste.

Cask at the Red Lion with sea views in Cromer. Golden with a small head and glow. Hoppy with a fair strength evident in both aroma and taste. Mild sweetness too.

33cl can from the Mad Squirrel shop, Chesham. A bright amber pour with a loose white head; sweet barley sugar aroma; barley taste with a light grassy bitterness; and a sweet finish. Not hoppy enough to balance the heavy malts.
