Bottle from Real Ale Store Newark and drunk at home. Clear amber lasting beige head. Smells of sherbert and hops. It’s lovely in the mouth. Brilliant English version of an American IPA. Light in body and feel. Not too malty and just hop all over it. Bitter on finish. Some grapefruit. Can’t taste the ABV. Wow, so impressed this is lovely. Good beer. Surprise of the week. Loved it, so drinkable.

Bottle from Real Ale Store Newark and drunk at home. Hazy gold lasting ivory head. Some earthy hop aroma. It’s fine. Decent sherberty hop on the finish. Finish is good, the aroma, is not quite as good. Malt is fine.

Bottle shared at chriso’s May 2014 tasting - London. Pours rich brown with a frothy beige head. Tangy fruits on the nose, some beat leather. Moderately sweet with further leathery fruits, bread, berries. Light bodied with average carbonation. Ripening fruits on the finish. So so.

500ml Bottle: BBD Dec 2014, poured carefully (it is bottle conditioned) into an Abbot Ale badged glass tankard at home on 22nd Aug 2014. Really dark, in fact it is black with a deep ruby hue at the edges. The head was a thin tanned covering at first, but after two sips it had sunk to a wisp and collar. A bit sour in nature with roasted maltiness and a fair share of bitterness. Hints of chocolate and coffee but not a great amount to get into really. OK, but it just lacks that extra flavour of whatever to make it a ’class act’. I liked it, but wanted more of everything (and less liquor (water)).
