Keg at the Bottle Shop - Bermondsey, London. Pours perfectly clear amber-gold with a creamy, off-white head. The nose holds damp and grainy bread, and rotting berries. Medium sweet flavor with hearty, bready malts, some jammy berries, grapes. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes fairly sweet with continuing grainy bread, some earthy hops, leaves, ripe berries. Not bad.

On tap Cloudwater Brewery and tap (tap open Saturdays), Units 7-8 Picadilly Trading Estate, Manchester, Saturday 18th April 2015 Rich amber coloured beer with just a very slight haze. Initially a little malty with some caramel at the edges. It’s fruity and refreshing a little fulsome with the malts heading the way, but hops do show, it’s a very nice beer. A6 A3 T7 P4 Ov14 3.4
