Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a hazy light amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is yeast, light grassy hop. The flavour is medium bitter with a resin, nettle hop, citrus, light pepper spice palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. A decent session beer for sure. The initial taste was better though. It fell away quite quickly after being opened.

Bottle shared at chriso’s during Garvie’s visit - London. A little gusher! Pours hazy gold with a big, foamy white head. Citrusy hops in the aroma, some pine needles, lemon, pale wood. Light-medium sweet with pithy citrus, lemon in particular, with more dry woody aspects. Light in body with average carbonation. Nicely balanced to finish with moderate bitter lemon rind, mellow pine. Not bad.

Bottle at Chriso going Dutch tasting, 03/07/14 Hazed golden amber with a good sized off white/light beige covering. Nose is citric sherbets, bitter orange, apricot, mineral notes. Taste comprises orange pith, earthy hop, chalky minerals. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light hop bitterness in the close. Ok stuff but bottom end of the SIPA’s I’ve had to date.
