7/2/2025. Bottle from 3at3, Ely. Shared with ITFCDan and Col on the train home from Ely Beer Festival. Pours slightly hazy orange amber with a small frothy/creamy white head. Aroma is fresh, hoppy, orange, biscuit, citrus, straw. Moderately sweet with a good bite of hoppy bitterness. Moderate body, average carbonation. Long bitter finish. Well done.

Bottle at home and found tidying the garage today. Bought last summer in Norfolk. Long day and starting the new job tomorrow so thought I'd have this while preparing dinner for the family. Rich dark colour in the glass and possibly over chilled from the garage. Huge and rich malt on the nose and tongue with a real length. The taste is a bit farmyard, but that is no bad thing. A pretty good best bitter.

Bottle from Beers of Europe, online. Pours an orange amber with a minor off white head Grainy aroma with biscuit and grassy hops. Taste of nuts, yeast, biscuit and grassy hops, light citrus. Light to medium bodied, fairly slick, low carbonation. Not too keen on this one, its quite yeasty bottled conditioned. I assume its more suited to cask.

500ml beer conditioned bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a murky brown with small off-white head, thin retention. Aroma of toasted grains and toffee. Taste is very malty with toasted malts, caramel, raisins, yeast and floral hops, slightly burnt noted finish Quite a heavy sticky mouthfeel, low carbonation. There's something a bit homebrew about it but it packs some reasonable flavours.

Bottle at home picked up from the brewery in the summer. Good pour with a perfect tiny head. Bags of flavourand mouthfeel for such a low abv. Really good malts. Lovely.
