Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - deep amber to brown. Nice lacy head. Nose - initial toffee, then orange kicks in. Taste - itβs mainly orange now, actually fresh zest and pith. Light malt sweeps in at the back. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - good stuff.

Dark amber beer, white creamy head. Light citrus aroma, some malt. Flavour is sweet citrus, grass, some dry hop. Light, grassy, lemony aftertaste. Tasty and while a bit too full-on to be sessionable itβs very nice.

Bottle from Cork & Cask. Hazy amber body with a medium off-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of juniper, flower stems and Ryvita. Flavour of herbs, Earl Grey tea, cranberry and caramel. Medium body with a smooth, creamy texture. Very soft fizz. Unique and interesting.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - murky brown FFS. Nice tight white head. Like an unflushed turd. Nose - pine and grapefruit. Taste - pink grapefruit. Definite sorbet and aspirin thing going on. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - looks like turdy water but tastes great (presumably better than aforementioned water)
