Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Hazy golden colour, white foam head and aroma of yeast, fruity, gluey, banana hint. Taste is grains, tangy, with fruity, yeasty notes and some bitterness. Medium bodied, soft to medium carbonation, medium-dry papery & earthy bitter finish. Quite OK

7/4/2020. Can from Hand In Glove, Worcester. Pours hazy golden with a pale green tint and a large fluffy white head. Aroma is hoppy, fruity, yeasty, light banana and herb, with a slight cardboard edge. Medium sweetness and light bitterness. Moderate body, average carbonation. Quite well done, stands ahead of many Helles I’ve had before.

Many thanks for this intensivy hoppy ale to dantomlinson. Mega chmielne, moze aromat niezbyt tak intensywny ale smak i zwlaszcza posmak juz tak, bardzo dlugi goryczkowy finisz w takim tradycyjnym stylu. Barwa jasna zlocista niczym elegancki pilsner, ze srednia wlasciwie mala piana, ale szklo young'a oblepia tak konkretnie niczym ruski klej do butow.

Taste is malt caramel, some grain, mango, fruity, citrus grapefruit, with tangy bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry earthy citric bitter finish. Nicely drinkable.

Third by cask, shared with Finn at Purecraft. Ruby-black body, steady fawn-coloured head, laces well. Smell of brown malts, chocolate added by fruit. Well blended taste of choco-caramel and dark fruits. Hints of pine needles to the ending, nicely roasted. A good one. (Birmingham 03.02.2020).

Keg @ Purity Bar, Birmingham. Clear gold. Medium apple nose. Crisp, medium apple fruit character, clean with distant woody glimpses, moderately rich apple fruit, juicy. Fairly simplistic but pleasant medium. Probably a Celtic Marches re-badge.
