Keg at The Lyric, Soho. It pours clear straw yellow with a big, foamy white head. The aroma is bread, toasty grain, straw, citrus rind. cereal and a touch of spice. The taste is dry, crisp, bitter, straw, grass, cereal, hay, light herbal accents and some bread with a firmly dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Fair enough, but lacks a bit of punchiness.

Keg at the London Brewers Market. Pours black with a super dense, creamy mocha head. Ashy roast in the nose, baking cocoa, brownies. Medium sweet flavour with rich dark chocolate, some iodine, ash, charred toast, raisins, coffee. Medium to full bodied, lightly chewy, with fine carbonation. Lightly warming in the finish, a touch sticky, with more bitter baking cocoa, ashy roast. Really solid.

Very light haze on this gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth but has decent fine carbonation. Slightly thin but smooth malts, mildly sweet. Trace of esters in the mid. Hops have a spicy edge and then present light but resinous orange dominated citrus. A mildly tangy bitterness on the light finish. Pretty drinkable and apart from some minor esters, pretty clean.
