500ml bottle conditioned, from Beers of Europe: BB Jul 2021. Drank at home on 15th Jan 2021, poured into a tall pint glass from the 8 Sail Brewery. Mini-haze from the sediment in the golden body, thin white crown that soon became a wisp and collar. Citrus and hoppy beer, both aroma and taste wise. Pretty bitter, especially in the finish as your mouth dries.

500ml bottle conditioned, BB Jun 2021, came via Beers of Europe. Drank at home on 27th Dec 2020, poured slowly into a vase shaped 'Old speckled Hen' glass. Very dark body, almost black, the head a rich tanned affair. Malty molasses and a yeasty feel to both the nose and taste, red berries arrive as the beer warms. All a bit 'Home Brew', something I've mentioned before about this breweries beers.
