Aroma is strong hops with some coriander. Has a modest head and orange body with heavy carbonation. Flavour is strong coriander with hints of hop and hazelnut. Medium finish. Not a bad craft brew but middling overall.

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Fergus. Pours clear yellow-gold with a faint, white foam head. The nose has some pale grains, hints of green pepper, hay. Light sweet flavour with dry doughy pale bread, lemon rind, faint spicy elderflower, more hay. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with further faintly spicy green pepper, sweet pale bread, very slig bitter hay. Quite basic but the elderflower makes it a little more interesting.

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?
