Keg at CPK, London. Pours hazy, orange-gold with a very, very sturdy white foam head. Subtle nose with some dough, bubblegum, light toast. Medium sweet flavor, lots of lively and dusty yeast, dough, very light citrus, dough. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Pretty perfect texture and condition. Light to medium sweet on the finish with more yeast, dough and light bubblegum, mild grassy bitterness, faint dry citrus. Wow. This is excellent. Maybe the best British-made Belgian-style beer I’ve had. Fantastic.

330ml bottle. Pours a hazy dark amber with a small head. Aroma is caramel malt, mango and cake. Pretty faint. Taste is sticky malt to start. Piney bitter finish with some alcohol. Low carbonation but pretty full in the mouth.

Cask @ Red Squirrel, Edinburgh 300412
Light golden amber, clear, frothy head, some lacing
Aroma - soft citrus fruits, some light sponge cake mix (!)
Taste - herbal hops, spicy zingy peppery hops, cake mix with a touch of vanilla, unusual flavour
Palate - soft carb, thin body. Finish as main flavour, lingering bitter (as usual for SWB), bitter zest. Very dry, bit too bitter on the finish
Overall - a half is enough, too dry

(Cask at Craft Beer Co, Clerkenwell, London, 18 April 2012) Dark brown colour with foamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with dried fruit, dark bread, chocolate and caramel. Malty, fruity taste with notes of caramel, chocolate, coffee, dark fruit, raisins, prunes and a slightly bitter-sweet finish. Rather thin body, with a touch of sweetness. The low alcohol level and the great taste makes this extremely drinkable. One of the best milds I’ve tried. Very nice.
