Faded black with a big old light tan coverin. Nose is light soap, chocolate, vanilla, spice. Taste comprises ashen notes, spice, dark fruit rinds, light cocoa. Medium bodied, prickly carbonation, semi drying close. Adequate for the style I guess but way over carbed.

Bottleshare at Leighton’s flat. Thanks to Leighton. Almost clear gold beer, decent pale cream colour head. Nice Nelson nose. Palate is airy and smooth, good fine carbonation. Soft light pale malts, little creamy sweetness. Nice fruity Nelson hops - grape, little orange and mild hop spice. A little grapefruit peel before a semi dry finish. Very good.

Bottleshare at Leighton’s flat. Thanks to Leighton for more London beer ticks. A very light haze on this gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry and crispy. Light pale malts. A little herb accentuated floralness precedes modest orange citrus. Light dry finish. Not bad, if slightly left field.
