Keg at Open Gate London. It pours lightly hazy rose with a medium white head. The aroma is toasty grains, damp grain, muted berry / jammy character, grass and coriander seeds. The taste is soft, juicy, jammy, soft berry, tangy, toasty grains, dull acidity and some rawness wig a drying finish. Average body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Pretty so-so.

Keg at Open Gate, London. It pours slightly hazy yellow with a medium bubbly white head. The aroma is fragrant, coriander seeds, damp grain, straw, orange peel and wheat bread. The taste is firmly dry, bitter, toasty grains, earthy, fragrant, herbal, coriander seeds, grass, orange peel, slight soapy and woody. Average body and moderate carbonation. Not as drinkable as I would have expected. Very run of the mill.

1/3 pint, draught at the brewpub. A tiny white head over a clear amber-gold body, scattered lacing. Inviting aromas of herbal hops and mid-sweet malts. Fine balanced flavours of ripe fruits, bread-like malts, and a mild touch of caramel. Lingering bittersweet ending. Clean and rounded on the swallow. Well bodied. Good drinking. (Covent Garden, London 02.03.2026).
