500ml bottle, batch 4940, bought at Bacchanalia, shared with Finn. Off-white, bubbly head, close to clear amber body, rings of lace down the glass. Moderate malt-fruity aromas. Fine blended taste of caramel malts, bread, and ripe fruits. Impacts of piney bitterness to the finish. Likable. (Hotel room, Cambridge 13.11.2021).

500ml bottle bought at Bacchanalia, shared with Finn. Gusher! Huge white head, misty late straw coloured body, patchy lacing. Grassy hops on the nose, citric support. Smoothly hop fruity flavours, moments of lemon and orange. Vibe of citrus bitterness to the aftertaste. Satisfying. (Hotel room, Cambridge 13.11.2021).
