Bottle courtesy of Alec, cheers Alec. Consumed at home usually having a beer or a Monday night but hey it is Loz’s birthday, Monday 14th November 2016 Pours mid brown with a light reddy hue and a slim white filmy head. A bit thin but it’s not bad at all, a little malty, fruity with a tanginess. Ok. A6 A4 T6 P2 Ov13 3.1

Bottle courtesy of Alec, many thanks Alec consumed at home cooking Taj Anna loving wari gosht (Cinnamon Lamb Curry) and Ambli anna mudh wari murghi (Roasted Tamarind Chicken with Honey and Red Chilli) at home Sunday 30th October 2016 Looks like a lemon water, transparent. This is beyond vile, it’s a shocker, smells like nail varnish but sadly tastes like it as well and a glueyness, one mouthful and then a drainpour. A3 A4 T2 P1 Ov6 1.6

Bottle. It’s a hazy golden colored beer with a small, off-white head. The aroma is quite malty and fruity, biscuits, caramel, pine cones and grass. Some notes of something reminiscent of butterscotch. It’s very low on carbonation, medium bodied and semi-dry, with a malt dominated flavor. Some bitterness and grassy, piney hops. Some orange. Lasting malt dominated finish. Not bad this one, pity it was so low on carbonation. 160806
