Really dialled in. Great balance throughout, luscious citrusy flavours, pale bread, grapefruit, rind, pine, mango. Modest bitterness. A little warmth. Dangerously drinkable.

I’m a big fan of DuPont but I have to say this is a step below their usual offerings. Doesn’t quite sing. A little boozy note, some crunchy grains and biscuits, grassy bitterness, husky straw, mellow flaked wheat. Drinks fine, it’s just not world-class.

God tier pils. Just sweet enough. Just bitter enough. Little biscuit. Little grass, hay. Insanely moreish. Can’t fault it, really.

It’s a great beer. Rich dark and leathery berry with an herbal edge. Mellow acidity. Some earthy qualities. Seedy bitterness. Grape skins. Bit of wood. The depth is considerable. The finish is excellent. The beer is outstanding.

Good and refreshing. Herbal but not quite in a rough and grassy way. More refined. Light acidity. Some green pepper vibes. Soft lemony tang. Pretty dry at the end. A little peel. It really is quite drinkable.

Outstanding. Rich berry character, leather, wood, earth, balanced acidity, herbal accents. Subtly jammy. No off notes. Fairly clean to finish, not overly acidic, complex, balanced. Masterclass kind of gear.

Good stuff, nicely complex, has a lean sort of acidity, dried grapes, salty cherry, but of salty sweat. Moderate body. Quenching finish. Has a musty quality that subsides with some opening. Really interesting one. Drinks well.

Looks great. Quite bright, jammy and juicy, lots of grapes and berries, restrained acidity, mild funk. Soft woody dryness. Fairly clean to finish, nice fruity-berry-grapey sweetness. Wonderful stuff.

Nice and pillowy, mellow leafy hop, toasted crackers, a little earth and grain. Soft British yeast expression. Mighty drinkable.
