Cask gravity at the London drinker beer fest 2017. A light hazed golden yellow coloured pour with a lasting loose off white head. Aroma is soft bready malts, vanilla, hints of citrus, lemon, straw. Flavour is composed of soft pale malts little rustic, lemon rind and straw. Palate is grainy, semi sweet, moderate carbonation, raw grains, ok. Decent blonde.,

Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival, Saturday 25th February 2017 Pours gold with a hint of haze and a clean bubbly white head. Fruity but more of the tropical as opposed to citrus, steady bitterness, pleasant well done pale ale though I think I prefer the standard Notting Hill Pale on keg on the numerous occasions I’ve had this at the brewery, that said it was a nice beer.

Bottle. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Dark bronze. Soft haze. Thin, dense film of beige head, that sticks all the way. Nose has lots of rye spice. Notes of bourbon and chocolatey, vanilla infused oak. Bit of a jaffa cake thing going on. Taste is soft, orangey sweet. Gets spicy, peppery bitter. Bit of a citric twang. Soft and smooth, massaging mouthfeel. The finish is spicy and soft bitter. Missus is comparing this with Shameless Santa. I’m inclined to agree. Lovely.
