Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of bluebetty. Pours golden with a slight haze and a lacing off-white head. Overripe fruit in the nose with a spicy and slightly yeasty edge. Rich body, heavy on the yeasty fruitiness. Has a dry and almost vinous touch - like a dry Chardonnay. Ends dry if not exactly hoppy. Good one. 190412

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of hops, lemons, straw, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel sauce, malt, alcohol, and a bit of hops, leading to a bitter finish.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of bluebetty. Pours a hazy deep golden with a small, off-white head. Odd hop aroma, I think Nelson Sauvin but apparently it’s other NZ hops. Medium body, sweet fruity and caramellish, somewhat soapy hops with a slight tartness. Bitter finish. A very strange creation. 120412

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of bluebetty. Pours amber with a slight haze and a beige head. Lovely fresh aroma hops in the nose. Medium body, roast, licorice and a little caramel. And again a lovely hoppy touch to the finish. is that perhaps a little Brett I get late? Anyways, it’s still nice.120412
