Bottle shared at Herr Schmitt’s gaff. Thanks to Paul. Aroma is wet grass, some alcohol, some berry fruits. Flavour is slightly sweet biscuity malt, berry hop. Orange clear pour with no real head. Palate is medium body low carbonation. Fairly low hop bitterness. Lingering earthy hop. Middle of the road.

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours clear golden with a small bubbly white head. The nose is grainy, earth, lemon, soapy, touch of honeysuckle and light sweetness. The taste is grainy, earth, lemon peel, ok bitterness, odd sort of staleness and florals with a dry finish. Medium body and flat carbonation. Let down by the lack carbonation. Need to work on the bottling perhaps.

Bottle shared at Garbage Night II - London. Picked up from the brewery. Pours clear gold with a wimpy, white cream head. The nose has some old bread, a bit of ripe orange, wet wood. Light sweet flavor with faint leafy bitterness, mild bready malts, hints of caramel. Light bodied with soft carbonation; condition seems a bit lacking. Finishes sweet and simple with mellow bitterness, light bready malts, bit more leaves, earth. Very so so.

Keg at Brick. It pours lightly hazy golden orange with a small white head. The nose is juicy tangerine, orange, sherbet, light brioche and faint toast. The taste is crisp, bitter, tangerine, orange peel, grapefruit and touch of underlying sweetness with a dry finish. Light-medium body and fine carbonation. Superb balance and high drinkability. Great work from this new brewery!

Bottle at home in London - picked up at the brewery. Pours perfectly clear, rich gold with a frothy white head that fades out quickly. The aroma holds husky grains, ripe citrus, some bread and leaves. Light sweet flavor with mellow biscuits, slight dough, bitter grain husks and grass. Light bodied with soft carbonation; definitely lacks condition. Mild sweetness to finish but not enough. Some further leaves, faint grass, pale bread. A touch watery. Needs work.

Keg at the brewery taproom. Pours cloudy, dark gold with a creamy white head. Some floaties. Bready, lightly doughy malts on the nose, some tangy citrus fruits. Light-medium sweet with nicely rounded bready malts, biscuits, a bit of toasted hay, tangerine. Light bodied with average, massaging carbonation and creamy texture. Nicely balanced to finish, further ready and biscuity malts, subtle citrus tones, mild bitterness of hay. Overall a very nice beer.

Cask at the brewery taproom. Pours cloudy, deep gold with a creamy, white head. Lovely, just bursting with juicy citrus lead by tangerine, grapefruit and orange with nips of pine as well. Light sweet flavor with more juicy hops but minimal bitterness (which is impressive), lots more tangerine, some tangy lemon and pithy grapefruit. Light bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Still more juicy citrus fruits in the finish with moderate doughy pale malt sweetness. Delightful.

Cask at the brewery taproom. Pours clear russet with a tight, frothy off-white head. The nose has some tangy berries, leaves, slight bread. Light sweet flavor with some out-of-place ashy notes, creamy bread, dry smoke, semi-dry berries. Light bodied with soft carbonation; so so condition. Sweet finish with mellow leafy bitterness, a bit of lightly toasted bread, light ashy earth. So so. Cask might not be in tip top shape.

Bottle from Brick Brewery. It pours clear amber with a medium white head. The nose soft, doughy, cereal, light toast and straw. The taste is doughy, buttered toast, cereal, light apple & pear sweetness in the background, spice and hay with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Errs a bit on the sweet side. Pretty so-so.

Cask at the Brick brewery. It pours clear deep amber with a medium off-white head. The nose is wood, grain, earth, leather, brown bread, pear drop and marmalade. The taste is wood, bread, earth, leather, light bitterness and faint caramel with a dry finish. Some orange citrus on the burp. Medium body and fine carbonation. A well rounded bitter. Solid stuff.
