Keg at the brewery. It pours darkest brown with a small, bubbly beige head. The nose is toasty, roasted malt, wheat, earth, blackcurrant, candy, jam and coffee. The taste is bitter-sweet, toasty, spice, pepper, coffee, mild acidity, light bitterness, berry and jam with a dry finish. Medium body, fine carbonation and slightly sticky mouth-feel. Black wheat IPA perhaps? Decent.

Draft at the brewery. Pours very hazy gold with a foamy white head. The nose holds some jammy citrus, orange, marmalade, minerals, hay. Light to medium sweet with pithy citrus, lemon, tangerine, some bitter pine needles. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more pithy citrus, hay, minerals. Nicely dry, well balanced, very drinkable.

Keg at the brewery. It pours golden-amber with minimal head. The nose is big on the ripe cheese.... but also vomit, rotten garbage, funk, earth and dull sort of vegetal/rhubarb thing in the background. The taste is sharp, earthy, cheesy, funky, lactic/old yoghurt, vomit, tart rhubarb and berry skin with an acidic finale. Medium body and fine carbonation. Really rather horrid...cheesy, musty and acidic. Kenny must be on crack again! Nto one I will re-visit in a hurry...

330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy amber colour with average, frothy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, off-white head. Intense hoppy aroma, citrusy and tropical fruity, sweaty resinous, notes of grapefruit, mango, passion fruit, a touch of glue (’Uhu’ or something similar). Taste is crisp bitter hoppy, tropical fruity, caramel malty basis with a nuttily touch, hints of grapefruit, mango, a touch of orange and orange zest; resinous finish, again a touch of glue, mineral bitterness. Refreshing, lively carbonation, slender body. Aroma is intense and sultry like a walk through a tropical rainforest, therefore astonishingly light and refreshing - very nice.

On tap at Anspach & Hobday brewery, Bermondsey, London. A hazy straw coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus aroma. Tastes hoppy, lemon/citrus fruit, slightly sweet, some butterscotch. This was fresh as a daisy. Really enjoyed the sorachi in this one.

Keg at the cask pub and kitchen 5th birthday. Hazed golden colour with a fine halo of white head. Aroma is grassy orange leaf, and chalk. Flavour is dry chalky, rough bitterness, orange peel. Palate is uber dry, tanin, and chalky. Not at all drinkable. Why would you try to brew a radler?

Draft at the brewery taproom. Pours clear brown with a fine, creamy off-white head. Toasty wheat bread on the nose, some burnt grains, earth, cocoa. Light sweet flavor with a hard, bitter cocoa and scorched earth edge, moderate roast, old raisins, understated wheat character. Light to medium bodied withfine to average carbonation. Fairly cohesive on the finish with lingering charred malts, burnt flaked wheat, earth and baking cocoa bitterness. It’s a novel concept for a beer and the execution is sound.

Light-medium sweet flavor with a nice, refreshing mineral edge, some straw, dry pale bread, subtle lemon, tangerine, hints of pine resin. Light bodied with fine, spritzy carbonation. Nicely balaned on the finish with mild rindy bitterness, faint grass, hop oils, moderate pale malt sugars. Very decent.
