330ml bottle. Cloudy pale yellowish golden colour with average, frothy, collapsing, white head. Spicy yeasty, fruity wheaty aroma, hints of elder. Taste is minimally tart and minimally sweet fruity, minimally spicy yeasty, a floral touch, some elderflower; prickling carbonation. Nice.

Bottle shared by Leighton at the Croydonia tasting. It pours clear deep amber-brown with a small beige head. The nose is earthy, pine, toast, grass and sweet fruitiness. The taste is toasty, brown bread, earthy, spice, good bitterness, resin and pithy citrus with a bitter finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Decent enough, but not Pressure Drop’s most exciting beer to date.

Bottle at the Croydonia Tasting - East Croydon. This one I picked up at the Cock Tavern. Pours clear, amber-gold with a tight, creamy white head. Nose of ripe fruits, some melon, grapefruit, light pee. Light to medium sweet flavor with mellow earthy bitterness bolstered by citrus rind, along with bread, pine and ripe grapefruit. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish with further ripe citrus fruits. Decent.

330ml bottle from The Cock Tavern, London. Coal coloured, smells a bit like walking round a festival campsite Monday morning. Quite an original, bold taste.. cigar, leather satchel, burnt toast, coffee machine dregs. Drinking this felt like a guilty pleasure, like enjoying the smell of petrol. Make of that what you will.

330ml bottle, 5.1 % ABV, picked up at Sourced Market., St Pancras. Coal black body, unclear. Tiny beige head leaving dotted spots to the glass. Earthy malts to the nose, semi-sweet. Chocolate, nuts, anise, and even a touch of caramel, in fine harmony to the taste buds. Slightly roasted bitter aftertaste. Ashy dry. Fine bodied. Likable version of the style (shared with Richard and Stefan at the Campus hotel, University of Leeds 01.07.2013).

330ml bottle, 4.1% abv, picked up at Sourced Market, St Pancras. Unclear, grey-yellow coloured body. Diminishing white head. Dark wheat and ginger on the nose. Herbs, dough and ginger flavours leading to a tart and wheat-like ending. Different but not so exciting (shared with Richard and Stefan, Leeds 01.07.2013).

Keg at the Cock Tavern - Hackney, London. Pours cloudy gold with a creamy white head. Lightly effervescent. Doughy malts in the nose, some herbs and flowers, a bit of bready wheat. Medium sweet flavor with doughy wheat, some flowery notes, perhaps a bit of green bell pepper, white sugar, white bread. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Ever so slightly syrupy. Sweet, lightly sticky finish with bread, light wheat and yeast, honey, some ripe orange, herbal flowers. Interesting stuff but does sit a bit heavy on the palate, which I don’t really like in a witbier.

Bottled (thanks laiti!). Deep ambery brown colour, small beige head. Aroma is nutty, some toffeeish and mild fruity notes. Flavour is nutty, some floral notes as well as quite rich hops and some mild toasted notes. Nice tart wooden notes too. Pleasantly balanced.

33 cl bottle @ oh6gdx. Bottled 29.01.2013, BBE 29.06.2013
Somewhat hoppy aroma with nuts, gooseberry bush and some chocolate. Flavour is also rather hoppy with coffee notes, nuts, some gooseberry bush and hints of chocolate. I like my brown ales less hoppy.
