Bottle from Corti Brothers. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is a bit of spicy fruit. Med body. Flavor is spicy with something like ripe apricot fruit. It isn’t wholly dry, but it is toward bitter. I can see why it was a winner in the tap room trials.

Bomber from Corti Brothers. Pours hazy amber with a large foamy off-white head. Aroma of cooked veg. And somewhat roasty malt. Med body at least. Flavor is herb/veg hop with roasty malt. It is bitter, and is tending towards dry. I think we’re dealing with heirloom hops, so the flavors are not exactly "citra". It is pretty hoppy, and finishing bitter. Quite a change from the "usual".

Can from Hippo Beers, Glasgow. It pours hazy hazy gold with a small white head. The nose is fresh, doughy, grass, cracker and light sweetness. The taste is crisp, good deal of bitterness, doughy, cracker, light pepper, grass and straw with a dry finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Crisp and pretty crushable. As Leighton would say - a good post-workout beer.
