Bottle from Cork & Cask. Clear amber body with a thin white head that fades. Lively carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of ginger and orange zest. Flavour of sparkling water and a hint of ginger. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Light fizz. Subtle and lacking the expected ginger heat.

Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced from Cork & Cask online. Pours lightly hazed orange-gold with a modest, fading white foam head. Great lambic-esque aroma. Light-medium sweet with modest funk, some ripening tart citrus, mellow grassy bitterness, nips of rind, leather, tangerine, salt. Medium bodied with delicate, massaging carbonation. Clean, quenching finish, mellow woody dryness, further grass, decent citric bite, relaxed acidity. Great stuff overall. This brewery continues to impress.

Modest haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is thin, fairly dry but has decent fine minerally crispness. Thin malts, clean, a modicum of sweetness. Minerals. A trace of funk. A forensic amount of citric hop. Dry crisp minerally finish. I bought this because I read it had Lemondrop hops. Couldn't taste em. A fresh air beer, nothing to dislike but that because there is not much of anything here.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - deep amber to brown. Creamy beige/yellow head. Nose - cherry and raspberry. Wood and funk. Tart and still an element of sweet fruit. Taste - generous fresh red fruit, wood, an edge of strawberry laces. Palate - medium bodied, tangy middle and finish. Zingy and persistent finish. Overall - a real transformation of the 80 shilling style, showing yeast is main element in most beers.
