Clear 275ml bottle: BB 1st Oct 2019. Obtained from a dodgy off licence in Brixton and brought home to rate, opening it on 9th Aug 2019. Red hue to the amber body, plenty of sediment remained in the bottle, but a little got into my glass, beige head. Rye like aroma and flavour, maybe some spices too. A bit weird really, what with drinking a Winter beer on a hot, thundery afternoon and it being made by a cider farmer or similar.

Monthly Beer Share, Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury; 29th July 2019. 33cl bottle; BB 12th Oct 2019, brought along by me (in it's box). A lot better than I expected it to be! Slight haze to the golden pour, off-white head. It's a malty brew with a mild woody and nutty like influence in both the aroma and taste.

Bag in a bottle Egham. Apple peel aroma. Dark gold. Thin white head. Apple vinegar sour with some latent sugar. Thin. Slick. Flat. Astringent. Don't get it.

330ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, July 19. Thanks Jeremy for this wonder. Pours hazy golden amber, frothy off-white head. Aroma of rusty malt. General character presents a lightly sweet golden ale, dry malt, distant nutty shades, though no real standout elements and nothing remotely wintery about it. Boring.
