Bottle shared at Bruce’s - big thanks to Paul. Pours hazy, rich gold with a deep, foamy off-white head. Dry citrus aroma with notes of peach and dried pine needles. Light to medium sweet flavor, lots of pine needles, lemon peel. Lit to medium bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Clean finish with dry citrus, pine needles. Good.

500ml bottle. Clear dark golden to amber colour with small to average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Minimally dry hoppy, minimally floral and fruity aroma, hints of bread, cautious fruity hints of red berries. Taste is initially minimally sweet malty, a dry touch of bread crust, minimally fruity and floral, later dry to bitter hoppy overtones, minimally chalky, light, minimally watery. Unspectacular but nice and sessionable.

Cask gravity at Six Bells Woodchurch. Amber brown beer with thin beige head. Slightly earthy bitter. Some hop on the finish. Classic brown session bitter with some twigs in. I liked it

500ml bottle. Wonderful, totally clear, ruby red colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, sulphur-yellowish head. Caramel malty aroma has notes of red berries, dried red fruit, adumbrated chilli notes. Taste is initially minimally sweet fruity, hints of red berries, dry hoppy overtones, in the finish appear slightly hot, peppery chilli notes; extremely smooth, soft palate. The addition of chillis is neither advantage nor damage.
