500ml bottle as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Light yellow gold, almost Chardonnay-ish, clear with almost no head. Very low aroma, just a suggestion of malt and some citrus sourness. Watery taste, basic malty notes, a bit of tropical fruit. Bitterness in the finish.light body, zero carbonation. Not great, although I am impressed with how they made a 2.5% beer taste like a 0.5% beer.

500ml bottle as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Fairly dark gold, clear with almost no head. Aroma is very low although I am getting a small amount of citrus peel and dried grass. Astringent bitter taste after a very short initial sweetness, some kumquat peel and loads of toffee beneath the bitterness. Finish is incredibly bitter. Low carbonation. Nah.

500ml bottle as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Light gold and clear with a good-sized white head. Hay and bready notes with a little touch of citrus peel. Sweet taste, getting suggestions of toast, light herbs. Bitter finish with English hops on the tongue. Slight body with big carbonation. It’s a a little more sophisticated than your average English golden but not by much.

500ml bottle as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Light gold, clear with a quickly dissipating white head. White grape, melon and a bit of peach in the aroma. Balanced bittersweet taste with more peach and grape, with bitterness resting on the tongue in the finish. Light body with medium carbonation. This is pretty simple but really nice.

500ml bottle as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Mid-gold and hazy with a small white head. Light aroma of distant citrus, hay, wildflowers. Tastes like I’d imagine hay tastes, with some slight jammy notes. The sweetness turns to a big bitter at the finish. It’s okay, I’m just not a big fan of these sorts of beers.

500ml bottle bought as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Mid- to dark gold and fairly hazy with no head. Sweet and flowery aroma with notes of orchard fruit and candy sugar, with light suggestions of caramel and white chocolate. Tastes sweet with more fruity and flowery character with a bitterness in the finish. Light notes of apple and banana in the finish. Light body, no carbonation. Decent.

500ml bottle bought as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Dark gold and hazy with almost no head. Light malty aroma. Sweet taste with some bitterness near the finish. Very flat and watery body. Doesn't taste like a Vienna, and doesn't really taste like much else either. Not a great beer.

500ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Aug 23. Cheers Mark for bringing this back from your hols in Dorset. Pours a dull hazed gold, frothy white head. Herbal ginger aroma. Nice herbal ginger permeating a hoppy bitter IPA character. Not bad.
