Bottle courtesy of Jonas, cheers Jonas! Consumed at Mum and Keith's, Kempsey nr Worcester, Sunday 19th October 2025 after a drive from Spond, Herefordshire. Pours hazy mid amber with a mid sized white head that soon departed. Nice in the mouth, smokey, fruity and with a nice tang. Nice woodiness, smokey with a little meaty edge, notably a bacon nose and light bacon touch in the mouth. Very good but slightly preferred the Grodsiskie.

Bottle courtesy of Jonas, cheers Jonas! Consumed at Mum and Keith's, Kempsey nr Worcester, Sunday 19th October 2025 after a drive from Spond, Herefordshire. Pours light/mid gold with a mid sized white head, there's a little haze. Nice mouthfeel, very good carbonation, smokey but nicely integrated, the hoppiness is gentle but certainly there. Cannot quite believe that this is 2.9%, there's a lot going on, but it's also the mouthfeel that's fab'.

Bottle picked up from Hereford Beer House, cheers you two! Had this Saturday 18th October 2025 in the company of Jude, Baz, Andrew and Pauline, Annasley, Isobel, Keith and David. Pours hazy gold with a mid sized white head, aroma is an interesting mix, a little bit gluey, citrus and cardboard, tastes a little bit thin and again a bit random, I don't really think that it's a classic West Coast IPA, it's pleasant enough but it's a bit muddled, citrussy and a bit of pine but again a bit of cardboard. Ok.
