500ml bottle from Gloucester Services: BB Sep 19. Drank at home on 22nd May 19. Part of a presentation pack (3 different Corinium beers), hope the last one's OK. This poured a hazy amber with an off-white crown. The nose held grassy hops with a slight herbal note or two, the taste was hop bitter with some malty balance towards the finish. Didn't take to it at all for some reason.

500ml bottle from Gloucester Services: BB July 19. Drank at home on 22nd May 19. Had high hopes of this, bought in a presentation pack of three different Corinium beers for over eleven pounds. The next one wasn't up to much either, hope the last one is better. Anyway this poured golden with a mini-haze, on top a wispy white head. Light citrus nose and flavour, semi-bitter, semi-tart; not impressed.

28/9/2018. Bottle from the St.Albans Beer & Cider Festival 2018. Pours dark mahogany brown with a beige head. Aroma of chocolate, malt, caramel, light ash and liquorice, hops, hint of berries and dark fruits. Moderate sweetness and medium roasted bitterness. Medium body, slight creamy texture, bit above average carbonation. Decent brew, if a bit too carbonated.

Bottle from a farm shop somewhere in deepest darkest Gloucestershire. Poured a hazy pale amber with an off white head. Initial taste was rather too bitter with some assertive grassy hops. Gradually gets more balanced with some spice, a little earthiness and sweet caramel coming through. A little stewed tea too. Grew on me, but maybe not enough.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at Swindon Beer Festival 26/10/2017. Near black in colour, with a slight, beige, head. Rich chocolate notes, some dark fruits, leafy hops, a hint of spice, before a dryish, warming, finish. Very easy drinking for the ABV and my favourite of the festival.

Cask-conditioned at Gloucester Beer Festival, 31/3/2017. Hazy gold in colour, with a thin, white, head. Floral hop and spicy malt aroma, with some tart stone fruits. Flavours of lemon, apricot and tangerine fruits, with some yeasty malts and a tart finish. Unusual and worth trying.

Level 42 botteshare. Thanks to Big Dave. Almost opaque dark brown beer, decent bubbly tan head. Palate is airy with modest fine carbonation. Papery floralness into mild dark malts. Insipid hops. Dry finish. Not a fan.
