500ml bottle: BBE Jul 15. Poured into an ’Old Speckled Hen’ vase shaped pint glass at home during a ’random tasting afternoon’ with myself on 10th Jan 15. Dull, but clear golden body with a flat, thin white scummy head. Not a lot of an aroma, mild hop traces but nothing worthy of note. The taste was also light in nature with mini hop flavours, again not a lot going on. Refreshing enough with a tropical fruitness as it warmed a little in the glass. Fairly dry finish but overall a beer lacking in depth and flavour.

500ml bottle: BBE of Jan 15. Poured into a UK pint sleeve at home in Dec 14. Nice looking brew, true copper hue to the clear and clean body: sadly the head sank to a wisp and collar a bit too quickly for my liking. Fruity and caramel notes in the nose, the taste also semi-sweet and malty with fruit hints to find. Mild woody and nutty feel to the flavours within the taste, a decent blend overall and a pleasant enough beer for the winter.
