500ml bottle from Beers of Europe: BB Feb 16. Poured into one of their own pint glasses at home on 10th Jan 16. Slight haze to the light golden body even though I saw no sediment leave the bottle, on top a deep foaming blanket, off-white in colour. Hoppy and bitter, a bit too much like beer from a ’home brew kit’ for my liking. Yeasty feel to the bitterness and almost sour in the finish, might have been better fresh rather than three weeks before it’s BBD.

500ml bottle from brewery. Drunk as part of a mini beer festival so not a full rating I’m afraid.

Very light haze on this gold beer, tidy pale cream coloured head. Palate is airy and dry. Modest fine carbonation. Dry floralness, light bitterness. Touch of lactose. Slightly dusty feel. Mild grapefruit citrus. Airy dry finish. Okay.

Bottle - Xmas gift. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a dense white head and some lacing. Fairly mild aroma with sweet notes of sherbet, strawberry and some mango. Quite strong flavours comparatively; candied peal, straw and a flowery hop. This changes to a sudden, intense bitterness of grassy hop, astringent resin and earthy undertones. Struck me as decent homebrew.

Bottle. It pours an almost clear body, golden in color and with a small, dense, off-white head. Fruity nose with a touch of maltyness. Some citrus peel, but that doesn’t prevent it from being a rather boring beer. It’s quite bitter on the palate, with some pale malts in the back. Pine cones and some resiny hints too. Medium body, quite dry. Lasting bitterness in the finish. Far from my preferred beer, but it’s far from bad. 120622
