Scopey 10K Celebrations in deepest Croydonia. Thanks to Paul. Hazy amber beer, thin cream colour head. Palate is light and has a mild minerally crispness. Light malts, thin creamy sweetness. Hops are decent pine, orange and citric peel. Smooth finish. Mild bitter linger. Hangs together well.

Bottle shared at my 10K tasting. It pours hazy deep amber with a small white head. The nose is sweet, juicy, sticky stewed orange, nectarine, peach, tinned fruit, caramel and pine. The taste is bitter-sweet, juicy, oily, peppery spice, resinous, some alcohol boost, brown bread, wood and leather with a dry, warming finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Nice aroma, but it is quite boosty. Not bad.
