Brewery draught, 5/16/23. Clear bronze-brass, small, white head to ring. Paw-paw, light vanilla, honeydew, lilac, weird! But compelling. Soft, fragrant, clean, unique. I guess there's gotta be apricot and peach mentioned. Def not a cookie cutter saison yeast character but no crude phenols. Soft, malty, honey and biscuit with strong apricot and white peach and a bit of mild white pepper. Lovely malt depth and attenuation, tending malty with rich honey and strong spice lingering. No crutch of using a bunch of hops or Brett here. Just all lovely yeast and malt.

Brewery draught, 5/16/23. Rich mango-butterscotch. Completely opaque. Small, off-white head immediately to wisp. Apricot and string but well-done vanilla are prominent at first. Definitely some other juice behind it. Not getting much hop and malt seems biscuity and mostly in the background as well. Soft, fruity, good acidity from fruit with hop bitterness though no sense of actual hop character. Vanilla and apricot are prominent and something more acidic lingering. Soft, malty, well-attenuated, lots of juice and malt but always balancing with acid/bitterness. Soft texture. Clean.

Cask at JDW The Holland Tringham, Streatham (26/03/2023) - JDW Spring Fest 2023 - toasted and sweet malty with notes of caramel, fudge, soft cask carb and medium body, piney herbal hoppy bitter finish. Ok.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol March 2023. Deep gold in colour with a slight, off-white, head. Full bodied IPA, with citrus hops, ripe tangerine fruits, pine resin, chew malts and a boozy, drying, finish. Good to see a traditional brewery producing a solid USA IPA.

Brewery draught, 4/1/23. Clear, blonde brass. White head to ring. Smells like plants. Pepper, Idk, I hate this bland, boring hop. Same in the mouth. Malty and such with pine, plant bitterness, woodiness, blandness. Good beer, bad hop.

Brewery draught, 4/1/23. Clear bronze-brass. Small, white head, low retention. Bread and sourdough, herbal hops galore. Clean with honey. Rich lager yeast. Clean and malty, very crisp and herbal but not too bitter. Great attenuation with lingering pepper. Low abv, could be a TOUCH maltier, but a nitpick.

Brewery draught, 4/1/23. Clear bronze. Low head. Acetic maybe, or more berry acidity. Definite lactic character. Soft, juicy, lightly acetic. Vanilla, vague berry acidity. Nothing too complex but balanced, tart, juicy, oaky and flavorful.

Brewery draught, 4/1/23. Clear blonde-brass. Low, white head. Wow, two years and it's dominated by the mosaic still. Not oniony, at least, but just pure sweat. Musty, dirty, sweat. In mouth it's sweat with some bright pineapple breaking through from the Brett. Such a shame. Can't say enough bad things about Mosaic!

Brewery draught, 4/1/23. Clear honey-copper, small, white head to ring. Lactic acidity is soft and there's a vanilla-like character behind it. Maybe some soft tea. Not much acidity in the nose. Sweet up front with light bitterness and good acidity. Very unique stuff going on. Can't pick out any single note but it's well-done though quite a bit of residual sugar.
