Can from Cobbett's, Dorking. Aroma combines sweet stone fruit with malts. Hazy mango gold. Frothy foamy white head. Light-medium bitter. Grapefruit. Some pine. A hint of sweet fruits into the finish but it's really more malty. Bitter. Quite crisp but thin... perhaps not a surprise as it's a session version of their other NEIPA. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. For a NEIPA it's actually quite bitter. Not bad though. Would definitely be interested in trying it's big brother, 6 State.

Can from Cobbett's, Dorking. Aroma combines toffee and coffee, with a malty edge. Opaque dark chestnut. Thick foamy beige head. Medium bitter. Piney. Herby. Followed up by a touch of sour berries and low key burnt caramel sweetness. The latter being more evident into the finish. Medium bodied. Slick to creamy. Average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. I enjoyed this. Good US style brown. For better than previous Pilgrim beers which serviceable at best.
