Bottle shared in London - picked up at the Lab. Some ash in the nose, citrus rind, minerals. Light sweet flavor with more dry ash, some smokey chili peppers, pale bread, hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more odd ash, pale bread, moderate chili burn. Not terribly cohesive.

Bottle thanks to Leighton, it pours clear gold with a thick white head. The nose is spicy, green vegetables, capsicum, chilli, paper and dough. The taste is crisp, doughy, paper, spicy chilli, green vegetables, light acidity and some icing sugar with a spicy, hot finish. Light - medium body and moderate carbonation. Not for me.

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours very lightly hazy with a small white head. The nose is soft, doughy, light paper, sweet cinnamon, plastic, wheat and light grass. The taste is crisp, wishy-washy, bread, wheat, light pepper and cracker with a short, dry finish. Light body and foamy carbonation. Another wishy-washy number.... Meh.

Bottle shared in London - picked up at the Lab. Pours clear gold with a creamy white head. The aroma is a little odd, some plastic, lemon rind, not really getting much cinnamon. Light sweet flavor with some vague citrus notes, a little grass, biscuits, hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Moderately sweet finish, some further plastic, dry white bread. Not very good.
