Bottle from HOTM. New brewery for me. Pours a clear gold-amber, small white head, nice retention. Aroma and taste of malt, lemon, apricot, floral hops. Nice bitterness in the finish. Light to medium bodied, slick. A very tasty hoppy clean English gold beer and should be top quartile for the style I reckon. Nothing Christmassy here though. Probably should be one of their core bottled beers, unless it is and this is just a re-badge.

Gravity cask at Pig’s Ear 2024 - Hackney. Pours clear, rich gold with a bubbly, white head. Smells of tea. Light sweet flavour with notes of leafy hops, sun-kissed malts, earth, grains. Light bodied with fine carbonation; decent condition. Finishes with notes of dried citrus peel, faintly toasted grains. Ok overall.
