Nods to London and Pirate Life in the can design, but it turns out to be a second label for Hargreaves Hill. Can. Gold with a white head. Aroma of honeydew melon, mandarin, grass, hay, some pineapple. Light bodied. Perhaps slightly more tropically focussed than expected from the aroma. Dryish with a slight earthy note. Solid hoppy quaffer.

Bottle. Clear gold with a white head that lasts very well. Aroma of pineapple, pine, bitter oranges. You expect it to be resinous but the body is lean and very clean and the hops are pungent but not very bitter, so it all floats above a focused malt. I guess that vindicates their approach.

330ml bottle. Pours orange red. Funk, elderflower, earthy, cloves, touch of red fruit, wouldn't have guessed which. Medium body, nice fizz, long finish. Good.

Bottle. Pink with a white head. Aroma is mildly funky with elderflower, cracker dough, spices (vanilla, white pepper) -- then the berries well up from underneath. Dry and slightly tart with funk, lots of spices and floral notes, again just a little berry. Starts dry, gets drier. Bitter at the end with that earthy/spiced/floral thing that elderflower does. The brewers really complement each other in this one.

A nice new world ESB with lots of caramel and biscuit and a bit of chocolate combined with bitter new world citrus hops. Slight metallic taste is the only drawback. Leaves a nice, warm aftertaste of a caramel biscuit.

Pours amber with a large fading head.Nose shows lemon, honey, herbal and spicy notes, sage and cinnamon.Flavours include more soft herbal and spicy notes before a big doughy/floury bready note rolls through. Could be really good otherwise.
