2nd January 2017
Hazy amber beer, small cream colour head. Palate is light, fairly dry and has mild crispness. Light thin malts, mildly sweet. Fair bit of esters. Very mildly sour generic fruits. Light finish. Esters linger on. Mmmm - pretty estery and quite thin, cherry is muddled. All in all - quite clunky.

Pretty heavy wheat profile but juicy hops balance it out a bit.

Cask at The Cock, shared with Chriso. Hazy golden with a minimal off white head. Aroma of herbal hops, fruits, citrus and light floral notes. Flavour is light sweet and above moderate bitter. Light to medium bodied with near flat carbonation.

Thin, off white head immediately left flotsam on a pale reddy brown still body. Looks thin - Doesn’t look very appealing. Definitely a cherry aroma! Thin, flat, dull,. Tastes so so thinned out - faint cherry, I can taste the reference to Belgian Dubbel - but again only faintly. Too much alcohol presence. It’s like a watered down Belgian Dubbel but with a similar ABV.

Keg at BD CJ. It pours hazy deep burnt orange with a small off-white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, toffee, fudge, wood, leather, candy, spice, rivita and earth. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, earthy, damp wood, chewy malt, leather, dry leaves, spice, toffee, candi sugar and some warming alcohol with a drying, spicy finish. Medium+ body and moderate carbonation. I just don’t find it that drinkable. Perhaps should be a touch sweeter?

Flaske 330ml kjøpt på Bread and Roses. Delt med Rune på Copthorne Hotel, Plymouth 25 Sep 16. Varm gyldenbrun. Litt uklar. Lavt luftig pent skum. Aroma av søte bær. Smaken det samme med søt malt i bakgrunnen. Blir tørr etter hvert. Mer uklar siste kvelling. Tynt bunnfall.

Good, but the cherry is maybe a bit more intense than I need.
