1/2 pint cask @ The Harp during Bristol Beer Factory TTO. .
Brune léger, col crémeux café au lait.
Arôme est plaisant allant vers uneffet presquqe cold brew café, délicat grillé avec touche de caramel et grillé l'apport de noix de coco est là en subtilité et repris par des notes florales, et finement terreuses.
Palais est bien malté, assez plaisant, toasté, touche de torréfié voire pointe de moka. Apport délicat de la noix de coco venant du houblon Sabro. Cependant, la base plus anglaise, avec usage du Bramling Cross, ressort un peu plus tirant vers des notes florales.

1/2 pint cask @ The Harp during Bristol Beer Factory TTO. Seems like totally fresh batch of a new beer serie.
Dorée, col blanc crémeux.
Arôme est très floral axé sur un houblonné noble anglais - léger malté en support - céréales, frais avec une pointe citronnée.
Palais est finement herbacé, léger pin apport des houblons un peu old-school 3C - Cascade, Chinook et Colombus. Léger floral, fleur de chardons.
Assez facileà boire et à déguster en parallèle de la version 'South'.

Keg pint at the Wrekin Inn on 17th July 2026. Hazy light golden body, dull looking with a white crust on top. Mosaic hops all over the place, so loads of tropical and citrus fruit esters and flavours, too much for me (almost).
