Bottle from the Honest Brew stand at the Good Food Show at Birmingham NEC. The Honest Brew rep claimed they’d made this at their own in house brewery but on examining the bottle it clearly states that it was brewed at White Hag. The beer’s a light orange-amber in hue with a white head but a rather prickly mouthfeel. Very pleasing tropical fruit and orange whiff and taste. A pretty nice IPA in fact, so well done White Hag, but I’m knocking a mark off for the lie that Honest Brew told about its origin. I shall henceforth refer to them as DisHonest Brew.

Bottle at Murphys Law. Clear reddish brown with no real head. Lots of lactic notes, sour berries, light caramel, dried herbs. Not really heather, it’s more fruity and strongly lactic. Light sweet and almost medium sour. Under medium bodied with barely any carbonation.

Almost clear deep amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Fluffy dry malts, not that sweet. Trace of smoke. Modest dry floral spice. Mild orange peel. Airy dry finish. Bitterness lingers on as does a little spice.
