17/6/2020. Can from Hoppily, Leigh-on-Sea. Pours dark ruby brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of dark fruits, light roasted malt, chocolate, coffee and nut. Moderate sweetness and bitterness with a developing tartness. Moderate body, but became a bit watery. Interesting how this one changed.

Can at home in Hackney - sourced from Clapton Craft. Pours totally clear gold with a foamy, pure white head. Lovely biscuity pale malt character, light bitter straw, nips of yeast and grass. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Well rounded finish, lightly sweet, touches of bitter hay, more mellow yeast expression, bread, biscuits. Some grassy bitterness in the aftertaste. Super drinkable. Nice amount of character given the ABV. The kind of beer where the more you drink of it the more you like it.

Can. Beer Ritz. Light to medium haze, on a pale amber. Fine and messy white head sticks to the glass. Nose has fruity, nutty grain. Hint of rich honey. Some spicy hop. Touch of ripe citrus. Background yeasty notes are bready and fruity. Smells great. Taste is pretty bitter and a little spicy. Modicum of biscuit sweetness. Light to medium body. Fine carbonation. Robust bitterness to finish. Reminds the missus of Whim Hartington IPA drawn from the barrel in the cellar at the Barley Mow at Kirk Ireton. Which is high praise indeed.

Can from HBB. It pours darkest brown with a decent off - white head. The aroma is bitter -sweet, treacle, roasted malt, coffee grounds, cacao nibs, nut and some umami vibes. The taste is dry and toothy, bitter roasted malt, liquorice, umami, some coffee grounds, nutty vibes and a touch of dried fruit with a drying and toasty finish. Lighter end of medium body and moderate carbonation. All comes together pretty well. A decent dark mild.
