bottle at home ... amber ... big white bubbly head ... spicy ... light hint of sour ... light woody malt nose ... fizzy ... orange ... grapes ... soft spices ...raisins... very odd ... but actually ok ... possible on the turn though

355ml bottle. Pours almost like orange juice in colour with a good head to start with. The head falls back to a thin layer of lace and there are gentle bubbles. The nose has initial some pungent sultana aroma but it subsides to leave a really green vegetable smell, maybe green beans which is then followed by a pungent earthy note, maybe rotting mangoes. The taste is like a cross between lemon meringue and mushy peas - weird. The palate is rich in structure with a tangy middle section texture and it cleans on the end. Overall, having tried two beers from this brewery, I’d say that it’s hard to define which style these beers fit into and also it’s hard to define the style of the brewery overall. Either they like mixing an unusual combination of ingredients within an unusual brewing process or their yeast is completely separate from the normal spectrum of yeasts held in breweries. Do I like it, well it’s better than the average beer I rate but not one of the best, on the other hand there is definitely room for this sort of diversity.

355ml bottle. Pours a hazy golden-orange with a decent head, some of which hangs around until the halfway stage. The nose is definitely Belgian with a big yeasty thing going on - lemon sorbet and something grassy in particular. The taste has orange zest, orange cream and then a drying yoghurt finish. The palate has a medium to large body with a big creamy texture and a elegant creamy ending, Overall, I really like this, but it’s not an American IPA. It’s a Belgian style.

Bottle from Beer Ritz, Leeds. Poured a murky dark chestnut colour with a slight beige head. Sweet malty nose with some vague spice lurking. Slightly cloying fkavour with no real depth and little in the finish. Drinkable but drab.

Bottled@Cask Pub And Kitchen, London. Reddish amber colour, small head. Aroma is fruits, spices, quite sticky sweet with some mild notes of tobacco. Flavour is coffee, fruits, spices, fruits and some mild tobaccoish notes. Also some mild chocolate.

Bottle at CPK, thanks to Ken. Pours hazy amber with a filmy head. Weird aroma, notes of spice, cardboard, dry malts. Sweet and spicy flavor, yeah, but not actually very good. Perhaps some cinnamon and brown sugar, lots of odd malt character. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Sweet, "winter" spice finish, more malts and faint bitterness. Lots of awkward sugars on the finish. Ehhhhh.
