Sample courtesy of Cheeseboard, cheers Simon! Hazed orange golden colour, white foam head and aroma of citric rind, formic, woody, funky. Taste is sour, zingy, citric rind, fruity, wood, apple, with some funk and bitterness. Medium bodied, light carbonation, tart zesty soured finish. Nicely drinkable.

Bottle from the brewery. Pours hazed orange with the traditional huge Mills level of foam. I miss Sorachi Ace. It was perhaps the most marmite hop of all but it seems to no longer be fashionable in this age of haze. Bright, mid tartness, lime, coconut, funk, green apple. Medium body with foamy carbonation.

Bottle via the online shop. Well hazed medium amber gold. Very decent slightly soppy lasting white froth. Nose has a definite gueuze twang up front. Mineraly notes. Wheat and a touch of spicy rye. Lovely hoppage comes through all gently coconut and sweet ripe, on the turn orange. Juicy and pretty tart throughout. Modicum of bitterness. Touch of acidity I’d not expected. Brisk carbonation. Tart juicy finish. The Sorachi comes through beautifully although overall it’s maybe a tad too zingy as it stands, to reach the usual Mills high. It’ll get there, mind you.
