Sweet, blueberry...so English yeast but too warm, like the fermentation got away from them and not enough hops to support it.

Light blonde. Thin head. Light melon, orange, fruity, complex hop character- the h�ll comes through. Good balancing malts, too.

Bronze. Not much head. Very sweet, almost candyish, hop candy but yeah sweet. Then gets a bit boozy in the finish.

On tap at Crucible, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out citrus hops, followed by some melon and light pine. Flavour is dynamic, with notes of melon, tangy citrus hops, some pine and a lightly sweet, oily finish. Very nicely constructed, with a tangy finish.

On tap at Crucible, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out dried dark fruits, some spiciness and earthy malt. Flavour brings out lots of earthy, roasted malt, followed by aggressive bitter hops. Pleasantly astringency on the finish. A little abrasive but it works.

On tap at Crucible, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out notes of chocolate fudge, followed by light espresso and some dark dried fruits. Flavour is robust as hell, with loads of espresso upfront, followed by dry dark chocolate and just enough sweetness. Robust, balanced and delicious. Really lovely.
