Keg at Mother Kellyโ€™s Bethnal Green. A nice hazy beer in the glass with a good spiky aroma of hops on the nose. Lots of hops in the flavour with that spikiness maintained on the palate. This packed a lot of flavour into a low abv beer and it was a good start to the evening.

330ml bottle [(5.4% abv) in unlimited debt of gratitude towards you, Maddie!]. Milky, yellow-ish, bright golden colour with average to huge, frothy, moderately to mostly lasting, slightly lacing, snow-white head. Fruity and spicy yeasty aroma, notes of apricot, mirabelle, nectarine, some quince, hints of white pepper, a touch of coriander, coriander seed, mild floral overtones. Taste is dry hoppy, slightly fruity and spicy yeasty, hints of apricot and mirabelle, a touch of quince, grapefruit, kumquat and orange zest, some white pepper and coriander; dry, minimally tart finish, smooth and soft palate. Refreshing, thereby rich and diversified - excellent "gentrified PoMo Saison", as bartlebier would term it.

Draught, 7.7 % abv, beer flight glass at Norwich Tap House. Low white head, dotted spots on the glass, cloudy golden body. Smell of perfumed bread and fruits. Bread and fruits to the taste buds supported by dark spices and with a orange shells to the ending. Rounded mouth feel. In fact, rather anonymous. (10.07.2017).
