Tap at In de Wildeman. Hazy light yellow with white head. Loads and loads of tropical fruits with mango, pineapple, passion fruit. Some lemon, chalk, dry flour, mineral water. No sweetness, just light bitterness. Light bodied with dry finish. Really really good for the ABV.

Bottle shared at tasting. Hazy brown to dark brown colour. Aroma exotic fruits, grassy, light roasted. Taste has some light chocolate and roast. Mostly bitter, grassy and lightly exotic hops flavours. Easy drinking and tasty but falls short of excellence.

On keg at Chez Sophie. Appearance - dark brown to black with a decent head. Nose - dark malt and some leather. Taste - more leather malt tannins and just a hint of red fruit. Palate - medium bodied with a dry tannic middle that continues through to the finish. Overall - a beer that requires putting effort into but which gives back in the end.

24th March 2016: bottle at the Shrewsbury Beer Club (in Chez Sophie). Poured gold, slight haze to the body, the head a white fluffy affair. Tropical fruits burst out of the brew with a grapefruit lead and finish: both refreshing and interesting. Bitter or IPA or APA, don’t know, just enjoyed it.

Bottle at home, picked up from cotteridge wines. Aroma is tangy apple, feresh cereal grains, sharp lemon , hay, and a hint of smoke. Light hazed bright golden yellow coloured pour with a steadfast frothy white head. Flavour is composed of fresh cereal grains, pils, damp hay, tangy lemon, slightly herbal hop character and background apple notes. Palate is semi sweet, semi sweet, highish, soft frothy carbonaiton. Assertive bitterness. Interesting lager.
