Bottle shared at the chriso and Ruth pre-Christmas / post-Pigs Ear holiday tasting of 2015 - London. Cheers! Pours hazy yellow-gold with a creamy, white head. The nose is a mix of doughy wheat bread and dry smoke, with undertones of honeyed ham. Medium sweet flavor with sugary white bread, yeast, straw and smokey ham. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Sweet finish with more wheat, yeast, dough, light apple. Tasty enough. The smokiness keeps it interesting.

Gravity dispense at Pigs Ear ’15, 04/12/15. Mahogany brown with reddish hues when held to the light and topped with a decent beige swirl that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is light smoke, spice, ash, herbal notes, josticks. Taste comprises lightly smoked malt, dark fruit, ashtray, leather, tobacco, biscuit. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Intersting brew but not one I could drink a lot of.

Light haze on this rich gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry. Decent fine carbonation. Light dry pale malts, trace of lactose. Sweet estrers. Trace of herb. Modest Sorachi lemon. Light semi dry finish. A little clunky but okay.
