Draught keg at the Real Ale Classroom, Stoneygate. Light yellow gold, cloudy with a small swirl of white head. White grape, grapefruit, slight woody notes, maybe spruce or even pine. The taste is a revelation: sweet with a woody and almost herbal character dancing with the hops, followed by an intense herbal character. Bitterness in the finish. Wow. Very bitter in the final flourish. Medium body and carbonation. Soooo good.

Sample, thanks fonefan! Cloudy pale orange, small head. Generous aroma of grapes, nectarine and lychee. Mid sweet with light to medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Fruity with pineapple and grapes. Low bitterness. Mellow, hoppy, pleasant.

Annual Putty rate... 9th iteration, thanks to Neal for the can, procured from their webshop I believe.
440ml can. Murky almost opaque golden with a white head. Aroma of fresh mango, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, herbal. Taste is the same, juicy fresh mango and pineapple, grapefruit, peach, herbal and dank with a hint of savoury, hop bitterness to finish. Medium-full bodied. Excellent.
Even if it's not the best ever Putty I think this year's might be closest to the original in terms of taste when I compare to my old notes. Certainly got a nice nostalgia hit drinking this one. Wonderful stuff.
