Hand bottle, thanks to Ian. It pours deep red-brown, with a thin beige film. The nose is sweet fig, prune, currant, vanilla, TCP and a hint of glue. The taste is raisin, currant, vanilla, whisky, toffee and alcohol warmth in the finish. Medium body, low carbonation and sticky mouth-feel. A bit cloying, but tasty stuff.

Cask handpull at Foundry Brewpub. Best of british malts and british hops. Lively as hell pouring it. Gold haze with thin white head. Hoppy as hell. Earthy yes. Some weird citrus fruit flavour yes. Some odd malty sense yes. Light biscuit malt. Largeish bitterness. Cornflakes. It tastes of light hoppy cornflakes. Awesome. Yes a uk style hoppy blond. Good bitterness on finish. Good shout. Whats it like? Difficult to say but drinkable as hell. Good defined flavours. Golden ale but with british hops. Good

Cask handpull at Foundry Brewpub. Clear gold thin white head. Its a hoppy estery beer. Wow thats quite unusual. Its like a half belgian estery blond and a half demi ipa. Terrific hoppy aroma. Still not sure the peachy estery belgian yeast goes well with intense hops but that may just be me. A little still on the condition. The hops are outstanding. Good but still not sure belgian blond west coast ipa works.

ChrisOs Easter Tasting. Hazy gold amber beer. Short lived white head. Light smooth palate. Semi dry with mild carbonation. A little malt, slightly caramel, provides a base for nice mellow but tart hops. Mild fresh marmalade. Some bitterness from the Belgian yeast. Semi dry finish. Mildly bitter aftertaste. Canterbury continue to impress.

Bottle (thanks to Ian) at Chriso’s Easter tasting 2012. It pours deep amber-brown, with a thin beige head. The nose is toffee, dark fruit - plum, prune, blueberry and honey. The taste is cherry, prune, plum, jam, golden syrup, caramel, coffee, cola cubes, wood and some alcohol warmth. Medium body and low carbonation. Perhaps a touch too sweet, but good all-round.
