33cl bottle from beer52.com. A rather murky mahogany pour with a fast fading white head; rather strange aroma of wet straw mingled with chocolate; lively in the mouth with a refreshing spritzy feeling, but then weighed down by the chocolatey malts. A rather odd combination, not sure it works.

Bottle from (I think) Cornelius. Hazy amber body with a medium off-white head. Low carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of musty biscuits, caramel, pumpkin and mango. Flavour of orange marmalade, lime, toffee and green mango. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. A tasty, well balanced beer. This bottle was 5.5% ABV.

Aroma of passionfruit, green mango and pale malt. Flavour of orange pith, pineapple and grass. Thin body with an oily mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Light and fruity.

Hazy gold beer, tidy off white head. Palate is airy and semi dry. Sweet but dry pale malts. Hops are floral with a light perfumey streak. Sweet esters - pear and a little bubblegum. Spice. Very mild citrus. Light semi dry finish. A little odd but fairly drinkable.

330ml bottle (5.5%ABV) from Cotterdge Wines. Poured into a Forbidden Fruit chalice at home on 14th July 2015. Misty body of a reddy brown colour, the fast fading head off-white, soon becoming a film and collar only. Definite Rye feel to the nose and taste with a good semi-sweet maltiness that combines well with the bittering hop content. Really enjoyed it, drank it far too fast, needed a bigger bottle, or another one!

Hazy deep amber beer, thin cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry with mild fine carbonation. Spicy tangy malts, little unsweet caramel toffee. Over ripe orange. Mild floral sweetness. Little orange peel. Dry finish. Thought this might be an old beer but with a BBE of Jan 2016, not so, just a bit hop light.

On tap @ Ushers Bar. Appearance - opaque black with a lovely fawn head. Nose - soy sauce, tar and charcoal. Taste - creamy milk chocolate. The chilli is very gentle but then there’s a late charge and it builds down the glass. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly balanced finish. Overall - not usually my thing to have chilli in beer, but a decent effort.

Caña en el taxman. Leon el 27-06-2015 color dorado con poca espuma blanca. Aromas y sabores ligeros con toques iniciales algo herbáceos y dulces maltosos acabando con amargo resinoso no muy duradero. Cuerpo ligero a medio algo pastoso bastante fácil de beber. Una imperial ipa de lo mas suave. Normal.
