500ml bottle as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Dark gold and cloudy with a tiny bit of white head & a lot of lacing. Creamy notes in the aroma with hints of fresh pulpy mango. Sweet taste with a bit of a posset feel halfway through. Hoppy bitterness in the finish. Thick body with low to medium carbonation. A decent enough beer but with a bit too much lactose.

500ml bottle ordered from the brewery and drunk at home. Dark gold and clear with the tiniest bit of white head. Lited notes of tropical and orchard fruits, caramel, marmalade. The bittersweet taste has a welcome sharpness to it which turns to a concentrated bitterness in the finish. Bittering hops - bordering on too much - crowd the tongue in the aftertaste. So far I've found Mr Winter's beers to be a little bit same-y, bit that's no reason to diss the individual beers which are quite good.

500ml bottle bought from the brewery and drunk at home. Orange/gold, hazy with a spotty white head. Pleasant, floral aroma, some apricot and dried grass. Balanced bittersweet taste. Sweet at first but it draws into a bitterness toward the long finish. Oft to medium carbonation. It's not an exciting beer but it's quite moreish.

500ml bottle delivered from the brewery and drunk at home. Dark gold and clear with a small white head. Grass and apricot on the nose, with a tiny bit of pine. Bittersweet with an intense bitterness later in the sip. Citrus, more grassy notes. Soft carbonation is just enough to give it a bit of zip. There isn't a whole lot to it, it's just a very well-made pale.

500ml bottle bought from the brewery. Dark gold, a bit hazy with an uneven loose white head. Candied orange peel, apricot and hay in the aroma. Bittersweet, fruity taste with the bitterness augmented in the long finish. Peach tea and light tropical fruit in the aftertaste. Carbonation is soft to nil, which doesn't help the watery body but this is a small complaint. This is a really good golden.
