Cam from Fierce Abz. It pours cloudy golden - orange with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, bright, green fruits, kiwi, gooseberry, white grape, piney, tangy marmalade, grapefruit and pomelo. The taste is crisp, dry, pine needles, green, weedy, dank, peppery spice, grass, floury, gooseberry, white grape, grapefruit, pithy, zesty, minerality, floury bread, cracker and a touch of alcohol with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Really enjoyable. Green, fruity and bitter. Well crafted. Super impressed with my first beer from these guys.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Cork & Cask. Pours crystal clear gold with a lasting, frothy white head - looks great. Lightly sweet with strong grassy bitterness, husky grains, dirty hay, dried biscuits. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Bitter finish, grassy, lightly earthy, sun-kissed pale grains, more hay. But the bitterness throws the balance off a little bit otherwise it’s quite nice.

Can thanks to Wes. Appearance - deep brown to black and opaque. Beige head. Nose - creamy milk chocolate going into dark chocolate. Taste - Flake, light roast and creamy. Palate - light bodied, creamy texture, then kinda falls off a cliff a wee bit. Overall - the nose made me expect more from the palate.

Can thanks to Wes. Appearance - hazy amber. Decent white head. Nose - dank, light dishcloth, orange and lightly bready. Taste - orange and bready. Orange zest at the back. Palate - light bodied, zesty and balanced bitterness on the finish. Overall - not a huge amount of high notes but imminently drinkable.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Cork & Cask. Pours clear gold with a modest, foamy white head. Light sweet flavour, nice clean piney bitterness, sun-kissed pale malts, orange rind. Light bodied with average carbonation. Clean, dry finish, piney bitterness, mellow rindy notes, low sweetness. Very drinkable stuff.
