Several at The Hop, Leeds. Pours light amber/yellow with good white creamy head. Little to no carbonation. Resin, citrus and pale malt aromas, following through with more light citrus, and a pleasing bitterness. Light to medium body. A well-made session beer.

Golden-amber in colour with a thick creamy head. Has a heavy taste given its alcohol content with some malts evident.

Light brown with a thick creamy head. Has a sweet fruity aroma and taste but pleasantly light in its character. More berry than tropical.

Bottle. Nose is grapefruit undercut with cereal. Taste is grapefruit rind, leading to a soft slightly herbal/floral finish, a touch of the promised spice. Mouthfeel is, as with most of the Hornbeam beers, awful: thin and watery. A forgettable beer.

Bottle: Nose is weak, but tones of smoke, slight mushroom. Taste is is roasted malt, hazelnut, slight cocoa. Very lightly smokey, despite nose. Mouthfeel is oily and too thin. A passable session porter.
