Bottle, 12C. Clear copper with a lovely white head. Aroma of slightly buttery toffee, bread, pine, a little tropical fruit - lychees, pineapple. Sweet, creamy textured, with fairly strong bitterness that’s resinous and slightly astringent. Not familiar with this hop, but it adds a new world accent to what is otherwise a very English beer. Maybe a bit too piney to quite fit.

Bottle. Clear gold with a white head. Aroma of hay, oranges, flowers. Sweet pale malt, lots of oranges, a bit of apricot, some pepper. Lingering bitterness. Nothing very exciting, but quality.

Bottle. Black with a tan head that crackles down to a coat. Aroma of chocolate, roasted barley, blackberries, oak. Silky, quite full-bodied for the ABV. Carbonation could be lower for me. Moderate sweetness, more berries than mocha, lots of roasted barley, oaky and peppery. Quite vinous, would have guessed Shiraz rather than Pinot Noir. Some licorice. Complicated yet restrained. Very good. So much for low beer miles. [3.8]Bottle #5/450. Tan head is puffy and well-retained, carbonation is lower. Flavours are much the same but mesh a little more. Less peppery, more cigar box. Please do this again and leave some at this end.

Bottle. Copper with a lovely cream head that laces well. Aroma of nectarines, flowers, light spices, hints of tropical fruit. More tropical fruit as well as peach and biscuit sweetness in the taste. Creamy, a little overcarbonated. Firm peppery bitterness. Very English with very Australian hops. Good.
