Medium golden amber. Smells a bit vegetably and sweet. Almost flat, no head; I get some woody notes and a bit of fortified wine, so the Marsala comes through. But it's a bit oxidized. A decent attempt at barrel aging but the flavor is a bit too diminished and lacking complexity for such a fat-sounding explanation.

Bottle, danke Fin! Dark golden, low head. Boozy melon aroma, some turpentine. Light body, low fizz. Sweet, light fruit, fruit tea, light booze.

Bottle. Unclear-ish orange-golden color with white head that is almost none-existant head. Aroma is honey, peach, sirupy. Taste is peach, honey, sirupy, cloying in the back. Not great.

Bottle picked up from the brewery webshop and consumed at home Wednesday 3rd March 2021 listening to Marc Riley on 6Music. Barely any carbonation in fact you might suggest it's as flat as a pancake. Loz gets the cider mousiness, we used to get on the nose from when we made a cider and we'd got it wrong in the process of, so lactic acid bacteria. I don't get this however her sense of smell is more acute than mine, I get super dry sherry and oak on the nose and in the mouth but absolutely no sweetness in the mouth as indicated. It's verging on a light sourness, however it's not vinegar, it's quite dry, is there a slight infection?. It's okay at best, I don't dislike this but I am a little frustrated that the brewery description is a million miles from reality, I suspect that this is their first foray into barrel ageing and they looked at what flavours they should of got but in reality this is what they actually picked up.* Update, only just noticed from reading comments elsewhere that this beer was brewed and barrel aged back in 2017, so perhaps the ageing process has also impacted on this a little by now.

Bottle picked up from the brewery as part of a mixed case, consumed at home Saturday 27th February 2021 after a day spent gardening, listening to Tom Ravenscroft Ravers hour from last night (listen again) about to start cooking Pastitsio *Greek weekend this weekend. Pours clear gold, white head, superb looker. It's a bit downhill after the appearance, taste is so so, little bitter bite, a flinty edge, clean, refreshing but does little for me.

Bottle picked up directly from the brewery webshop, drinking at home Thursday 18th February 2021 making homemade Fish and Chips (incl: Beer Batter) Mushy Peas and homemade Tartare Sauce. Hazy, cloudy mid gold, soft in the mouth, this is a little thin and watery but it's not without it's pluses, light wheatiness, a touch sweet. Fine but like many low abv wheat it is not really cutting the mustard.

Bottle picked up from the brewery online Webshop and consumed at home, Wednesday 17th February 2021 listening to Marc Riley on 6Music, we had Mushroom Risotto for tea. Pours chestnut brown in colour with an off white head. Sweet, nutty with plenty of caramel but and yet it's there throughout there is a light hoppiness. Nice beer.

Bottle picked up from the brewery online Webshop and consumed at home, Wednesday 17th February 2021 listening to Marc Riley on 6Music, we had Mushroom Risotto for tea. Pours cloudy light yellow gold with a white head. Nice wheatiness throughout, more clove than banana, fresh. Good beer, more full flavoured than expected.

Bottle picked up from the brewery online Webshop and consumed at home, Wednesday 17th February 2021 listening to Marc Riley on 6Music, we had Mushroom Risotto for tea. Pours amber, good clarity, really very, very soft moutheel. A little background metallic, slight sweet edge, caramel adding to the proceedings. Pleasant.

Bottle picked up from Appel Getränkemarkt, Moosburg and consumed at home Sunday 7th February 2021 listening to Rolling Coastal Blackouts Fever - Sideways to Italy, about to prepare Pasta this evening for part 2 of our Italian weekend. Deep gold with a white head and good clarity. Malt forward but with a flinty edge, bitterness creeps up revealing itself to be surprisingly bitter. Alcohol well hidden. Good, I like this.
