Pours a clear light gold with a small creamy white head. Aroma is a light grainy malt with a hint of lemon. Some lacing, a light sweet taste, some citus and a soft but lasting bitter finish.

Bottle. Nose is yeast, cereal, grain, light caramel, lemon hop notes. Taste is grain, caramel leading to a lemon citrus finish. It’s OK, but no better than something phoned in by green king et al

Bottle thanks to minutemat. Appearance - a beautiful deep amber with a nice lacy head. Nose - so much iodine, plasters and a bit of seawood. Taste - peaty toffee. Weird. Palate - complex and rich in body and texture. A bit cloying and peaty on the finish. Overall - what is the underlying beer. Nae idea as the peat kills everything underneath?

Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb and Stuu666. Pours clear deep amber with a thin white head. Aromas of whisky, peat, wood, faint sugar. Taste is very strongly medicinal. I can see how this would be divisive, but I like it well enough.
