Can from Cotteridge Wines, Brum. Light gold. Bubbly creamy white head. Low key yeasty aroma with some citrus. Medium bitter. Low key citrus. Underlying sweet and sour lagery. Light bodied. Thin but slick. Fizzy carbonation. Dry astringent finish. Heard people raving about this, however that lagery sweetness just doesn't do it for me.

Can from Lupe Pintos. Murky brown body with a thin head that fades. Low carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of liquorice, plum and cherry. Flavour of sour cranberry and copper. Thin to medium body with a slick, fizzy mouthfeel. I’m delighted to see a new Doppelbock, one of my favourite beer styles, but this is all over the place. It smells sweet and tastes sour. Miles away from the quality of Ayinger’s Celebrator and Andechser’s Doppelbock Dunkel.
