50cl bottle as Green Daemon Helles: BBE Dec 17. Poured at home into an 8 Sail Brewery badged pint sleeve on 25th May 17. Shared with no one. Very slight haze to the golden pour, uneven blanket of white foam for a covering. Soft feel to the brew body wise, first thing I noticed as I looked, sniffed and sipped. Aroma has a mild mixed fruity nature, the taste also has a mixed fruity trace in the flavour. The beer gets more sweeter and maltier as it warms a little, which I liked. Has more about it than your typical ’Pale Lager’ that’s for sure, would certainly be in my top 50 anyway.

An English IPA with bitter hops and some malt. It was good, but I have had better. It lacked a complexity of flavour that you get in the better versions of this.

Cask handpull at The County Hotel Ashford JDW. Tea tannin hop aroma. Malts are light. Some bitterness and hop sting on finish. Body is thin. Ok just.

Clear deep brown beer, small tan head. Palate is light and smooth, decent fine carbonation. Thin dark malts bring mild dark chocolate and coffee. Light piney hop and a little fresh orange. Light finish brings modest bitternss. Thin but it does a good enough job representing the style.
