Bottle from the brewery's stall at Walton Farmers Market. Clear amber. Visibly fizzy. Mahoosive but delicate frothy white head. Aroma has spice and malts. Sour edge. Dank. Flavour is light-medium sour with umami. Malty and fruity sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Soft fizzy carbonation provides a lift. No adjunct in a Gose... but from recollection this is more like a trad. Pleasent. Refreshing. Not s standard beer.

Bought from the brewery stall at Walton Farmers Market. Clear copper gold. Frothy foamy white head. Arome is adjunct led. The ginger, lime and honey dominate. The ginger and lime are more prevalent when it comes to medium-have bitter flavour, alongside the bitter hops. An underlying honey sweetness is then more noticeable into the finish. A burn from.the ginger. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Punchy due to adjuncts. Don't mind it, even though I am not a fan of ginger.

Bought at the brewery stall, Walton Farmers Market. Clear amber. Thick frothy foamy white head. Fruity zesty aroma. Sour edge. Malts. Flavourwise this is dominated by malts, with the hops really pushed to the periphery. They addd a somewhat citrus streak but lacking impact. Gains bitterness. Some caramel as promised. Light-medium bodied. Soft fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Another beer that's just not quite got it. Underpowered before a bitter bite comes through which just seems unbalanced.

Bottle bought from the brewery stall at Walton Farmers Market. Aroma is fruity with big cacao streak. Seems like it should be more than 6.5%. Darkest brown. A tad murky. Thick foamy beige head. Medium bitter cacao - more nighttime drink than slab of chocolate. Sour edge. Initially yue initial elements seemed short-lived to reveal a boring damp malty core. However cherry gradually developed some character as the beer warmed up. Medium bodied. Slick to oily. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Decent but has a soggy bottom.

Bottle from the brewery stall at Weybridge Christmas Market. Aroma has light pine, with sweet citrus and underlying malts. Hazy-opaque dull orange. Thick foamy white head. Light-medium bitter. Piney. Sour citrus edge. Onions. Gains bitterness. But it's kinda restrained. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Unexciting attempt.

Bottle from the brewery stall at Walton Farmers Market. Aroma is big and malty. A butter citrus edge. Underlying damp vege notes. Clear gold body. Thick foamy white head. Muted start. Watery malts. Veg soup and bread. Then develops a quinine and citrus bitter streak. Underlying sweaty socks. My burps are a bit more citrusy. Light. Thin. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Unsurprisingly bland, despite the bitterness which is more medicinal than resinous.

Bought from the brewery stall at Walton Farmers Market. Aroma is malty. Chewy. Doughy. Some fruit. But also a hint of cardboard. Hazy amber - Orthodox CAMRA drinkers would be complaining. Thick foamy white head. Sweet and malty with a bit of a hoppy bite and some citrus sourness. Light-medium bodied. Thin but then benefits from soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Pleasant. Some character. A beer I could happily session. Edited to point out that I do indeed like it.

Bottle from the brewery stall at Woking Farmers Market. Aroma has sweet tropical fruit. Hazy-opaque amber. Slight bronze tint. Thin frothy translucent white head soon recedes to the rim. Fruity. Peripheral resinous bitterness. Malty finish. Sweet juice. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat-average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Overly polite.

Bottle, thanks to BeardedAvenger. Pours deep brown towards black with a beige to tan cap. Aroma: rich deep malts, dark chocolate, coffee. Taste: light to moderate sweet with moderate roast malt bitterness, more coffee, dark berries. Medium bodied with smooth mouthfeel, fine carbonation.

Bottle from brewery stall at Woking Farmers Market. Aroma combines citrus with a malty streak. Hazy-opaque amber gold. Frothy foamy white head. Medium bitter. Tart citrus. Spice. Underlying malts. Gains quinine. But ultimately it's there's a soda watery element throughout. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Serviceable. Not quite the finished article.
