Lots of plum, not getting the rosemary so clearly, but a nice savouriness here

Bottle from Upton Smokery, nr Burford, Oxfordshire. Chestnut-hued with a thin beige head. The fizz is rather prickly for my liking but does eventually die down a little to reveal a smooth full mouthfeel. Chocolate, a little banana and plum, some roasty malt and a light spiciness. Generally sweetish but with a light dryness at the end. I thought I'd gone off Belgian styles but this is pretty good.

Bottle from Drunk Dry, Kidlington, Oxon, consumed at home Thursday 6th July 2017. Very dark brown with a slim light beige head, slight murky appearance. Nice softness, the chocolate is lovely itโs smooth, creamy and with a little light cocoa dusting. The raspberries come through afterwards offering a little tart fruity tang. Bloody lovely.

Bottle from The Angel, Bicester, consumed at home Thursday 11th May 2017 whilst making a Ranch Dressing. Pours straw coloured, perhaps heading towards a warm gold with a white head. Soft mouthfeel, a hint of mineral, flint and steeliness in the mouth. I really like this, I cannot recall how close this is to a Kolsch but I like it regardless. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Bottle from The Angel, Bicester, consumed at home Thursday 11th May 2017 whilst making a Ranch Dressing. Pours light/mid gold with a foamy white head. Soft mouthfeel, light fruity taste a little bit of a corny edge, likeable beer but I much prefer others in the core range. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov13 3.2

Keg at Tap Social, Botley, Oxford, Friday 28th April 2017 Reddy brown with a slim off white rim, with a nice reddy glint. Soft in the mouth, candi sugar, warming and with a lovely spiciness. Really good and if I was in Belgium (and I am very often) I would be very happy supping this. A7 A4 T7 P4 OV14 3.6

Keg tap at the brewery tap. Dark gold with a hint of red. Tiny ring of white head. Strong aroma of kumquat peel with a strong herbal note. In the taste, you really get the cranberry and thyme in a medicinal/tart double whammy. Long sour finish. Nice.
