Earthy malt undertones, cherry, sweet fruit, strawberry, sticky malt, slightly hoppy finish. Reasonably full-bodied.

Keg at mother Kelly's. A hazed yellow straw coloured pour with no head. Aroma is earthy grains, straw, grassy and hay. Palate is slightly tangy, grainy, moderate carbonation. Flavour is composed of tangy earthy grains, grassy lemon, grainstore, hint of apple. Not bad.

Really vibrant punchy notes with a nice gentle ryeness. Clean. Easy-quaffing.

330ml bottle [A big thanks to Maddie for the Tritium and the whole Solvay trio!]. Minimally cloudy, orangey, deep golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, biscuity and minimally bready, malty, and yeasty fruity aroma with minimally floral and spicy overtones, notes of apricot, peach, orange, mandarine, a touch of chili and petals. Taste is dry, spicy, minimally soapy, pink peppercorn predominates underlying fruitiness and bready maltiness. Slightly unbalanced, overspiced, good basic beer though.

330ml bottle [A very big "thanks" to Maddie!]. Cloudy, amber colour with average to huge, fluffy, moderately lasting and lacing, off-white head. Sweet-ish, fruity and minimally floral hoppy, slightly bready malty and minimally dusty yeasty aroma, notes of lemon tea, lemongrass, a touch of apricot, quince, unfrozen strawberry. Taste is dry, yeasty and fruity hoppy, hints of apricot, quince, a touch of lemongrass and strawberry, diluted, minimally bready, malty basis, minimally dusty, yeasty overtones aren't strong enough to build up a veritable white pepper note; apricot finish. Very nice.

Keg at Mother Kellyโs - Bethnal Green. Pours hazy orange-gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds pithy citrus, some lime zest. Light to medium sweet flavour with a bit of rindy bitterness, oily pine, faint cheese and biscuits. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweet finish with more oily peel, some bread. Not bad.
