Bottle from Hop Burns and Black. Pours a nice deep chocolate brown with a huge dimple pillowy tan head. Nose is enticing - roasted malts, coffee, dark chocolate, with pine and orange hop notes. Light-medium sweetness and pretty big bitterness that's balanced between roast and hops. Slightly astringent as a result. Mouthfeel is a bit prickly, medium body. Would prefer smoother carbonation. An interesting drink.

Sound. Nice depth of character, piney and earthy hops, a little English yeast expression maybe, florals, grass, dried citrus rind, sun-kissed malts. Some nice crunchy and nutty malt notes. Moreish, pleasant lingering bitterness.

On tap at That Beer Place, Chester. Pours a hazy pale straw with a sizable frothy white head, excellent lacing and fairly high carbonation. The aroma has continental hops and citrus. In the mouth it is sweet and somewhat tart with a slightly creamy texture. Citrus to the fore in the flavour assisted by melon, lemon and traces of lime and tangerine later. Tartness lasts into a slightly dry finish. This is quite nice – certainly refreshing on a hot summer day.

Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines. Hazed yellow with a decent shiny white foam. Wheaty and smoky notes first. Distinctly herbal (that’ll be the bay, then). Some lemon rind. Taste has a modicum of sweetness but overall it’s quite bitter with lots of lemon peel and herb forward hop leaf. Nicely creamy mouthfeel. Bitter finish tempered by some wheaty sweetness. Didn’t mind the bitterness here. Kind of a wheat beer / IPA hybrid thing.

On tap at King's Head Bristol. Hazy pale gold colour. Spicy herby coriander aroma. Some orange peel . Very herbal. Cold. Its decent though. Not much bitterness. Can't see a German brewing this but it's decent. Interesting
