Creamy off white head on an unclear vivid amber coloured body.
Orange, digestive biscuits & stone fruit aroma.
Medium bodied, foamy dry & clean.
Bitter orange, lemon, earthy, pine bubble gum tastes with a bitter finish.
Not so sure about the East Coast style on the label but a fine tasty brew.

330ml bottle from under a windmill in Heckington - murky teak body, quickly fading tan head. Big notes of plums, prunes, and boozy Soreen. Lots of acid-reflux inducing warmth, aftertaste of figs and dark cake fruit. Really good, potentially dangerous.

500ml bottle from brewery shop underneath the windmill - deepest ruby body with a pinkish hued head. Strong smokey character, plummy fruity kick, dry finish.

Bottle from a trade with Grumbo, thanks! Aroma is soft pale malt, mild citrussy hops, orange, pretty strong herbal notes, peppery and a healthy dose of bitter and sour liberal tears. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and a bit tart with an above moderate bitter finish. Body is medium. A tart IPA, bit rough around the edges, but I like it.

Аромат впринципе неплохой, есть какая то карамелька с хмелем, почти нету заявляенного по стилю оттенка дыма. Цвет карамельный, пенка приятная, стойкая и мелкопузырчатая. Во вкусе хмель просто уничтожает все живое в твоем рту. За этим шоком почти ничего не ощащается, хотя карамелька там действительно на месте. Для маленькой пивоварни нормально, но можно и лучше.

26/6/2021: Shared with Dan & Grumbo at the Euro 2020(1) watchathon. Aroma of Treacle, chocolate, smoke and caramel. Very ashy finish . Not bad.
