Bottle at the "Lets celebrate the fact that Dean is already the Mayor of M&S Den Haag even though it’s only been open for 24 hours tasting!". Poured a cloudy medium amber with a thin broken white head. The aroma is yeast and malt. The flavour is medium bitter light sweet with a fruit toffee watery zesty fruit palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Cask at The Hanging Bat. Pours clear copper, little to no head. Aromas of caramel biscuit, touch of nuttiness. Taste has more sweetness, with a light balancing bitterness leading to a clean, refreshing finish. Lovely.

Scopey 5K Tasting in deepest Croydonia. Cheers to the main man for this one. Lightly hazy amber beer, small white head. Smooth palate,.semi dry. Smooth malt, touch of cream. Mildly bitter citric hops and a somehow pleasing amount of twiggyness!! Finishes smooth. A tasty and well balanced bitter. Very drinkable.

Bottle shared at the Scopey 5K tasting - big thanks to the host for this one. Pours hazy, golden-brown with a fluffy, white head. Sweet with moderate bready malts, ripe citrus fruits, light brown sugar. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with faint plastic notes, sugary bread. So so.

Bottle shared at my 5K tasting. It pours clear amber with a medium beige head. The nose is earthy, musty, grain, cat litter and mild fruitiness. The taste is doughy, grain, earth, faint citrus, spice and light bitterness with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty so-so stuff unfortunately.
