23/5/2026. Draft at The 2026 Cambridge Beer Festival.

Can picked up from Beyond Beer webshop Hamburg and consumed at home Saturday 16th May 2026 after a couple of hours working in the garden, we're still listening to Fins - Thumping Playlist on Tidal, we had a fab' Pastitsio. This reminds me a lot of the Verdant Triple Putty, colour very similar murky yellow with a large white head, but where it immediately differs is that whilst it is very hoppy it isn't the hop monster that the PuTTTy is. There's a nice canned peachiness here, maybe apricots as well that give a subtle tang, it's really nice. This beer if a 9.5% beer could be described as refined is actually a more refined smoother less aggressive beast, hoppy yes but wasn't getting hoppy burps here. Thickness in the mouth yes but sweetness is balanced. This may seem like a strange thing to say because this beer is the more appealing beer in many ways but I slightly prefer the PuTTTy. Just as an aside I actually had this beer six years ago, okay the abv differed by a tiny bit and it didn't have the Fully Loaded term, so possibly very slightly different but let's not beat about the bush it was essentially the same beer, however back then I gave it a 7.0 and noted a 'huge hoppiness, really, really aggressively hoppy' it's a more mature beer now. more rounded, very good drinkabilty for the abv, it's really grown up. Score: 7.8
