8.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 9 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Bottle from Brew Cavern. It pours amber/copper with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is bright, zingy, lemon sherbet, lime, refreshers, fruitella, gooseberry, candied lemons, fizzy candy, fizzy cola bottles and oak. The taste is firmly dry, plenty of oak, light tannin, straw, grassy, sandalwood, hit of vanilla, fragrant, juniper, peppery spice, some bitterness, refreshers, lemon - lime, sherbet, touch of gooseberry fool and grass with a dry finish. Medium body and lovely fluffy carbonation. Velvety mouth feel. Really rather classy.

7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 8
Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Cork & Cask I believe. Pours mostly clear honey-gold with a creamy, white topping. Lightly sweet, funky, some peach, melon, a little band aid, cellar. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. More funk and citrus fruit accents to finish. Enjoyable.

7.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Bottle from the Wee Vault. Appearance - cloudy orange with a snow white head. Nose - funk, orange, bread and lanolin. Taste - brown bread, orange, funky and tart. Palate - medium bodied, zesty middle and dry tart finish. Overall - good! More about the balance of the palate than any fruity high points.

6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Bottle from the Wee Vault. Appearance - cloudy amber orange. White head with some yeast visible. Nose - toffee and funky. A bit dirty and earthy on the yeast side. Metallic. Taste - dry toffee and caramel. Hazelnut with sweet and dry spice. Palate - medium bodied, then bone dry through middle and finish. Overall - I like it, but I don't think the yeast dominance works so well with this sort of beer compared to pale styles.
