Bottle at home in London - picked up at Whole Foods Richmond. Pours mostly clear amber-gold, effervescent, with a foamy, off-white head. Big grainy malt aroma, with notes of ripe citrus, orange peel, lightly toasted malts. Light-medium sweet flavour with just faint minerality, touches of white grape, melon, more citrus fruits, bitter orange rind, bready pale malts. Light bodied with lively, massaging carbonation. Finishes with more lightly toasted grains, drying minerals, a dash of pine resin, more rindy citrus. Not bad overall.

Bottle at level 42, thanks to Dan. It pours hazy dirty gold - amber with a thick white head. The aroma is fresh bread, earth, grain and candied citrus peel. The taste is quite mellow, earth, wood, dried fruits, brown bread and leather. Medium body and fine carbonation. Easy going, if a touch boring. OK golden ale.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, amber colour with average to huge, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Herbal, spicy yeasty aroma, notes of mustard, mustard seed, hints of sage, tarragon. Taste is bitter hoppy, spicy yeasty, subtle fruitiness, hints of mirabelle and peach, brine and mustard seed. Way more Farmhouse than IP-A.
