Bottle from The Beerhive. Hazy golden body with a white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of garden peas and herbs. Flavour of honey and bitter tonic water. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. It’s good but doesn’t quite gel/sing enough to be amazing. A promising brew from an exciting new brewery.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - golden with a big fluffy white head and frantic bubbles. Nose - delicate pine, fresh herbs and green beans. Taste - bitter salad, dry green herbs and green beans. Palate - light bodied, long persistent finish with balanced bitterness. No funk on this one as far a I can get. Overall - elegant, beautiful beer. All about the beautiful balance rather than any fruity high points.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - clear golden with a big fluffy head, with frantic carbonation. Nose - green beans, mushy peas, generally green, herbaceous and light funk. Taste - pea and mint as per previous reviewer. Fresh and slightly bitter salad. Not much funk. Palate - light bodied, refreshing bitterness and good persistence. Only slightly funky. Overall - really interesting beer.

Bottle from Brew Cavern. It pours hazy yellow with a lasting fluffy white head. The aroma is sweaty, musty, funky, dry oak, dull vanilla, zingy lemon, gooseberry, spice, hay and floral accents. The taste is firmly dry upfront, oak, good depth of wood, grassy, hay, fragrant, floral, juniper, leafy, lemon rind, dry wood, earth, peppery spice and some tannin with a bone dry, woody finish. Moderate body and moderate+ frothy carbonation. Really interesting stuff, it is not your run of the mill offering for sure. Love the aroma, but perhaps lacks a touch of drinkability with that dryness. Still enjoyable.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Cork & Cask. Pours clear yellow-gold, effervescent, with a lively, frothy white head. Clean, dry, lightly sweet, a little biscuit, flinty minerality, mild funk, nips of lemon, background woody dryness. Light bodied with delicate carbonation. Quenching finish, stony, dry, more soft lemony notes, dry pale bread, subtle funk, mild bitter straw. Nice and drinkable stuff.
