Keg at BD SB. It pours hazy orange with a small white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, very sweet, mango, candy and marmalade. The taste is soft, sweet, fruity, dried mango, tinned peach, sugary, grainy, a bit pithy, booze and more grain with a drying finish. Light - medium body and soft carbonation. A bit sweet and one dimensional.

Handpull cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Dark red/brown, slightly translucent with a tiny ring of white head. Malty aroma with some earthy hops, strawberry jam tart, and a slight woodiness. Bittersweet taste with a sweet plummy note midway through. Short finish and the body is somewhat thin. Chocolate notes in the aftertaste along with metallic, earthy and berry flavours. Not a bad beer all around.

Centennial, Cascade and Crystal hops. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and a little dry. Fluffy malts, trace of thin cream. Modest floral hop and mild bitterness. Touch of citrus. Airy finish leaves a mild bitter linger. Not delivering enough on the hops for me but not unpleasant.

Bottle shared in London on cloin's 20k - cheers to Dave. Pours unclear golden-brown wit a small, creamy head. The nose holds toasty grains, old orange peel. Light sweet flavour, strongly bitter, very astringent, with dry wood, pine. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with more aggressive astringency, woody dryness, old carpets, bitter citrus peel. Not good at all.

Bottle at L42. It pours hazy red - brown with a massive foamy beige head. The aroma is sweet, tangy, dried fruit, manure, wet cardboard, spice and dirt. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, dried berry, earthy, dirt, earth, leather, stewed black tea and burnt plastic with a drying finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Really shit overall. Filthy.
