Bottle shared in London - cheers! Pours mostly clear gold with a frothy, white head. Moderately sweet with notes of white grape, tangy lemon, wheat bread. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet and bready finish, more white grapes. Fine.

Bottle picked up from Hoptimism website, Loughborough, Leicestershire UK, had this at home Xmas Eve, Thursday 24th December 2020 cooking Chertha Kozhi Kari aka Chicken and cashew curry with ginger, cardomom and chilli, listening to Craig Charles standing in for Steve Lamaq on 6 Music. Pours hazy amber with a white head. Has that very typical streaky British Bitter beer bitterness, I miss this simplicity, earthiness, it's a great example of a classic style. Nice fruitiness, really good.

Bottle from the Virtual Salford Independent Beer Festival box, Thursday night. Under the metal cap there was second plastic cap that appeared to be stuck on. Never seen this type before. Ended up cutting a whole in the top with the blade from a bottle opener. Aroma is funky, fruity, vaguely vinous. Another beer just full of floaters. A rose colour. Fizzy white head soon shrinks. Medium sour. Vinous. Salty edge. Oaky. Medium bodied. Slick verging on oily. Average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. A laid back juicy Flemish red. But, sheesh, those floaters are so offputting.
