Bottle. It’s a clear, amber beer with a small, dense, beige head. It’s coffee-ish, toffee-ish and slightly cellar-ish. The flavor is quite decent, coffee, toffee, some chocolate and a touch of bitterness are present, with some cellar. Semi-dry on the palate, with a smooth carbonation. A decent beer indeed. 110819

Bottle. Slightly hazy amber with slight head. Pleasant subtle aroma - chocolate, vanilla, hint of orange. Medium body, bright carbonation. Interesting flavour with lots going. Rich chocolate and tangy fruit with pleasant spicy hop notes all of which fall off abruptly to a long finish of slight hoppy bitterness and dark chocolate and coffee hints.

Bottle. Slightly hazy pale gold with little head. Nice aroma - citrus, passionfriut and floral hints. Light body and carbonation, perhaps lacking a bit of body. Refreshing flavour with the malt well in the background and the lively interesting hop from start to finish. That is not to say it is dominated by bitterness, there isn’t much, although there is a little pleasant bitterness in the finish. Rather the complex tangy and floral hop flavours are in the forefront. Overall this unusual flavour is refreshing and interesting, but lacks a bit in balance and body. (And as someone else observed, whoever wrote the label should concentrate on brewing beer - it’s bad English and drivel.)

From a 330ml bottle on 26/1/201. Pours a little cloudy and golden. The aroma is grassy and yeasty with a touch of fruit and orange feel. The flavours are of citrus fruit and a little spice. Has a longish sour/bitter hop finish. A drinkable English style pale, but not exciting or particularly notable.

Bottle. Amber with a beige head. Modest aroma of toast and feral pasture is not particularly appealing. Tastes rather better with toast, caramel, nuts and spiced chocolate. Dry finish. Didn’t smell that flash but there’s real depth and sophistication in the taste. Promising stuff.
