Lightly hazy gold beer, big pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry, a bit over done on the carbonation. Soap on the nose and the flavour, some agitation removes the edge off it but it’s always there. Post agitation the subtle fruit flavours are revealed, including zingy peach. Light semi dry finish. I always like to try experimental hop beers but this one fails to name the hops and then masks the flavour with an infection! Sigh!

Tasting at Paul and Lorna’s flat. Deepest Croydonia. Thanks to our gracious hosts for this one. Opaque brown beer, big fluffy pale tan head. Palate is airy and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Mild dark malts, creamy, just a touch of roast. Nice tangy dark fruits overlaid with spicy pine hops. Nicely joined up and very drinkable.
