Can picked up at the brewery by my mate Daz from work when he was on his hols. Lightest of haze on a deep orange gold. Thick sturdy lasting just of white foam. Nose has rich candied peel notes. Sappy pine. Sweet citrus flesh and zest. Some bready brioche like malts. Taste has a glimmer of sweetness with firm citrus fleshy zesty sappy bitterness. Clean and easy drinking. Lingering bitterness to finish with a light dry close. Wow. Stunner, especially at only 4.2%.

Can. A light haze on this slightly yellowish gold beer, small but tidy bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, a mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Smooth pale malts, a soft creamy sweetness. Soft cooling pine, a little savoury hop bite. Very mild hop spice. Soft Sabro coconut and slightly ripe pineapple. Nice rounded Amarillo orange and mandarin. Motueka, a bit lost here. Smooth finish. Hoppy for sure, doesn't quite gel and sing like it perhaps should but, a decent brew.

440ml can @ Tim's place, Gent. Brought by me, picked up at the brewery bar, Whitstable. Good black IPA.. possesses an earthy tone.. oysters come to mind though of course contains none.. nice pine notes adding a bit of colour, a little harsh on the finish but decent overall.

19 December 2025. Country Tasting @ Tim’s - thanks for hosting, cheers to the whole crew!
A: hazy black, small, frothy, beige head.
A: charred beef, fried mushroom, red onion, coffee powder.
T: restrainedly sweetish raisin, umami beef stock & mushroom, coffee.
F: earthy hops, some grapefruit peel, coffee.
P: medium body, slick texture, average carbonation.
Not too bad; lacking in hop profile somewhat, bit too earthy too.

Keg @ Sea Farmer's Dive, Whitstable. Pours a lightly misty golden yellow, white head. Vibrant sweet hop nose. Quite a pungent fresh hop feel, bold citrus push. Didn't expect it to come across quite like that. Nice.

Keg @ Sea Farmer's Dive, Whitstable. Pours a very dark brown, foamy tan head. Excellent oyster stout, just bitter enough, just salty enough, great malt depth.. very well presented. Went well with some Scampi fries.
