Bottle at home in London - picked up from the Bottle Shop, Bermondsey. Pours clear gold with a frothy white head that settles into a lingering cream. The nose holds lots of damp grains, old lemon, general citrus rind, a little earth. Light sweet flavour with up-front husky bitterness, some unpleasant moist carpet, lots of raw grains, bitter grass, hints of plastic. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Lightly sweet on the finish, musty and a little metallic, with a bit of harsh grassy and husky bitterness, more damp grains, some phenolic off notes, leaves, old bread, old rind. This one’s a bit rough. The name is somewhat unfortunate, because this beer definitely needs some ’work’.
