Can. Pretty much a clear gold beer, tidy bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a little thin, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth malts, sweet and mildly creamy but I believe, defining the thinness. Light crisp pine. Light but nicely juicy modern Simcoe, bright citrus with a nice mildly ripe pineapple streak. Mosaic is very much second fiddle here but, a mild candy fruits along with the pine on the back end. Whisper of hop spice in the aftertaste. A little thin then but I'm digging the Simcoe delivery.

Can. Purchased at Colchester market, which I've never seen before, despite literally dozens of trips to the town over 17 years! Dunno! A mild haze on this slightly pale yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, quite airy and semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin malts, a passable thin creamy sweetness. The hops are also a little thin, but that said, Sabro is loud and clear with mildly ripe pineapple into light coconut. Modern Galaxy backs up well with a light touch of smorgasbord citrus and tropical fruits. Finishes light and semi dry. Everything that is needed to deliver a corking beer is basically here. However, it just feels like quantities of everything are slightly on the stingy side. But, really this is still good stuff, just frustratingly close to greatness.

28/4/2023. Can shared by ITFCDan, from Briarbank, Ipswich. Pours clear pale golden with a small frothy white head. Aroma of toffee, butter, popcorn, flowers, sweet malt, grass, touch of pine. Quite heavy sweetness and light to moderate bitterness. Moderate body, oily and watery, average carbonation. Bitterness increased to finish making it a little more balanced but not my favourite from this Brewer.

Roasty and bitter, classic stout.
