Level 42 Bottleshare. Thanks toColin. Murky gold beer, small cream colour head. Airy dry palate, reasonable carbonation. Sweetish dry malts, some creamy sweetness. Bitterish yeasty floralness. Touch of brighter citrus. Smooth dry yeasty finish. Not doing anything for me.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Cloiny. Pours murky golden-brown with a creamy, white head. Musty leaves in the nose, old citrus fruits. Light sweet flavour with lots of leafy bitterness, some astringency, orange peel. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Quite bitter in the finish, more leaves and rind, some carpet, old and dried orange. Very so so.

Bottle shared in London - cheers to Cloun. Pours brownish with a dense, creamy topping. Musty wood and earth in the nose, some old leather. Light sweet flavour with notes of dried berries, more earth, leather, very slight roast. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Finishes with more leather berrie, very subtle cocoa, earthy hops. So so overall.

Bottle split at L42, from the brewery, 09/02/17. Dark mahogany brown with a big old ... too big cream head. Nose is brown bread, spice, charr, toffee, hop dusting, light red berry. Taste comprises faint pine, treacle toffee, spice, charr, faint cocoa, earthy tones. Medium bodied, fine to prickly carbonation, drying close with light hop bitterness. Average for style but a sippable number.

Bottle split at L42, from the brewery, 09/02/17. Hazed orange amber with a well appointed light beige cap. Nose is fruit cake, spice, fruit esters, straw, caramel, bread dough. Taste comprises fruit esters, straw, caramel, brown bread, toasted brown sugars. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok English strong, little hop characteristics, not an IPA in the RB sense.
