Keg at the Cock, 27/12/13. Dark amber with a moderate off white covering. Nose is toffee, bready malt, background fruit, hint of vanilla, praline. Taste comprises caramel, berry fruit, woody, biscuit crumble, brown sugars. Medium bodied, fine carbonation. A style that rarely wows me and this one is a clasic example of why, not badly produced, just on the bland side.

Bottle at home from sourced market. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate milk, lactose, earthy and sweet caramel. Opaque black caramel coloured with a loose tan head that fades to a thin whisp. Flavour is earthy roast with sweet caramel and milk. There is a light cherry tartness. Medium dry finish.

Botle at home from Sourced Market. Very small hiss when opening the bottle. Light amber orange coloured pour with a fleeting film of summy head.Aroma is caramel, toast light sweet malts, and a grassy chive. Flavour is toast, bread malt, slight staling. Hops are grassy, with touch of lemon. light metalic flavours linger. Palate is medium sweet, medium low carbonation. Maybe not a great bottle, but not up to the bermondsey gold standard.

Keg at the brewery taproom. Pours bright gold with a frothy, white cap. The nose has citrusy fruits, orange, tangerine, dry bread, berries. Medium sweet flavor, some minerals, dry bread, slight pine. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly resinous to finish, more pine, hints of alcohol, dry bread, semi-ripe orange. Decent.

Keg at the brewery taproom. Pours deep told with a fine, creamy white head. Bready malts in the nose, hints of ripe orange, toasted pine, hints of grass. Medium sweet flavor with a bready malt foundation, hints of caramel, lightly ripened citrus fruits. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Well balanced to finish, lightly dried bready malts, further orange, soft pine. Nice beer. A good homage to the SNPA. (December 2013, score: 3.6)
Can at home in Hackney, picked up at the brewery. Pours clear orange-gold with a creamy, white head. The aroma holds pithy citrus, minerals, dried pale malts, pine needles. Light sweet flavour with mild bitter pine, pale grains, more minerality, lemon peel. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with further flinty dryness, citrus peel, light bitterness. It’s a little restrained, bordering on bland. Inoffensive, but not very expressive. (June 2017, score: 3.2)

Keg at the brewery taproom. Pours clear, orange-gold with a foamy white head. Bready malts in the nose with touches of orange citrus. Light to medium sweet with a simple, lightly doughy bready malt base, a but if orange meringue, very subtle pine bitterness. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweet finish with further bready, lightly toasted malts, semi-ripe citrus fruits. Tasty and very drinkable. (3.6)
Can at home in London - sourced from Kris Wines. Pours mostly clear, rich gold with a creamy, white head. Great aroma with nice grapefruit, some overarching citrus pith, dry bread, pine. Light sweet flavor with further grapefruit, restrained pine, some grainy bread, orange rind, pith, faint minerality. Light bodied with average carbonation. Crisp and clean to conclude, with continuing notes of pine, faint hop oils, dry bread, some toasted cereal, citrus rind, a bit of pithy grapefruit. Nicely balanced overall. Lingering piney, lightly grassy bitterness. A little bit of resin, too. Pretty solid. (3.7)

Keg at pigs ear fest 2013. Aroma is zesty lemon and orange with light mineral and biscuit malt. Flavour is very much from the bermondsey mold. Clean biscuit pale malt clean american ale ferment. Nice piney citrus hop. Nicely posed and very drinkable.

3rd December 2013
Pigs Ear. The Round Church, Hackney. Cask. Opaque dark brown - black beer. Little tan head. Palate is light and crisp. Light tangy dark malts. Whisper of coffee. Dark fruits, well buried. Finishes dry. Not bad and nice to see Fourpure produce a passable beer.
