Leighton Profile

Blimey, that’s a stunner. Gorgeous citrusy hop expression, lime, tangerine, oily peel, pine needles, sturdy pale malt backbone, balanced bitterness. Great condition. Well rounded finish, great depth, more citrus peel, soft pine. Wow.

Has a nice fruity character about it, some jammy berries, soft earthy bitterness, lightly toasted malts. A little one-dimensional but rather moreish.

Lovely stuff, great on cask. Fresh and hoppy, moderately resinous. Some candied orange peel, sturdy pale malts. Balanced bitter aftertaste, a little honeysuckle. Highly drinkable.

One of the best NA beers I’ve had. Clean and fairly dry, pleasant southern hem hop character, soft bitterness, bready pale malts. Wildly drinkable. Nicely juicy.

Easygoing sauce. Soft roast, sweet toasted sugars, nip of ash, milk chocolate, suggestions of scorched earth. A little black coffee. Starts mild but you can appreciate the subtlety as you work through it. Solid sessioner.

Great stuff, clean and pithy, soft bitter pine needles. Lemon rind, a little dried mango, dirty straw. Super drinkable.
