Cask at Reading Beer Festival. Dark amber with a thin beige head. Gorgeous smooth vanilla flavour with a red wine boozy hit behind. A little toffee and chocolate too. Left a lasting vanilla aftertaste. Very heady stuff, better than I anticipated - feel privileged to have tried this one. However, might have been a bit strong for this early on in the fest.

Bottle shared at the Chris & Ruth pre GBBF shindig tasting 2016 - London. Cheers! Pours clear gold with a frothy, white head. Pale grains in the nose, touches of minerals, hay, tangerine rind. Light sweet flavour with more mineral presence, hay, more grains and ripening citrus. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with a little smokey off note, chalk, rind, pale grain. So so.

Fra keg på Teign Cellars, Newton Abbot 27 Sep 16. Gylden. Uklar. Lavt luftig skum. God søt plommearoma. Nesten tyggegummi. Smaken har samme hårfine balanse. Frisk men blir vel søt.

Bottle, courtesy of the man that is Totnes. Deep, orange gold. Light haze. Thin, messy, sticky, white head. Nose has spicy, floral, minty hop. Some peach stone. Peach juice. Hint of pine needle. Some toast and jam malts. It’s fairly subdued, but it’s all in there. Taste is fruity sweet, with a light, juicy bitterness. Soft and foamy mouthfeel. Little bit sticky on the lips. Finish gets a little sappy and earthy. This is a lovely, fruity, tasty number that took me totally by surprise. Never expected that...

Poured from keg at Teign Cellars, half pint shared with Finn. Clingy lacing from a white tophead. Muddy golden body. Quite inviting smell of pineapple and tea. Tea-like hops to the taste buds, fruity moments of pineapple. Drying fruity ending. Refreshing (Newton Abbot 27.09.2016).

bottle from Totnes. Golden colour, tall white head, lovely hoppy aromas. Full-bodied, intensive malty base with just the right sweetness to balance the intensive aromatic hops that add citrusy-piney flavours and some tropical fruit. Delicious.
