Can. Bakers and Larners of Holt. Hazed up gold. Soppy white foam. Nose has nicely sappy pine. Bit of pineapple weed. Ripe orange. A bit oaty but not overly. Taste has some sweetness with a zesty pithy bitterness. Fairly light bodied. Moderate bitterness to finish. Could be any hazy pow wow this, whereas Duration normally have something more about them.

Can. Admams shop in Holkham. Clear pale gold. Slim ring of white. Nose has a bit of a Belgian style saison yeast thing. Not too much else. Faint soapiness. Taste is semi dry with some bitterness. Thin and nondescript overall. Watery finish. Pointless.

Can picked up somewhere down Norfolk. Now with a Lowenbrau type label. Clear straw gold. Just a thin white head but it stays the course. Pale malts and a flicker of hop. Drinks decent and clean. Bit of refreshing bitterness. Good burps. Solid enough tackle. I wouldn’t get too bored doing a four pack in.

Bottle via the online shop. Shared round Dan and Megan’s. Light gusher. Sits black. Inevitably there’s a big old swede first off until it calms. Lots of earthy slightly woody medium roast coffee. Bitter chocolate. Lightly vinous. Semi dry and moderately bitter. As per most TT big hitters it doesn’t feel anything like a big hitter. Generally nobody had a clue it was close to 15%. Rich bitter finish with a soft twang to close. Good gear.

Battered can that might have bust a seal, via the online shop. Pitch black. Oily pour. Slim ring of tan. Nose has earthy woody soft roasted coffee bean. Good hit of almond. Comes over toasted. Some bitter chocolate. Taste is a little sweet with an earthy dry coffee bean bitterness. Frankly preposterous that this is 14 odd % because it drinks like milkshake. Lingering moderate bitterness to finish. Impressive.

Bottle. Bakers and Larners of Holt. Rates all over the place for this. “Seek it out while you can” 3.3! Jesus. Anyhoo. Clear amber. Thin dense just off white head is nearly fully lacing. Looks well. Nose has fruited tea loaf. Cracknel toffee. Moderate leafy mulch like hop. Taste is light sweet with some dryness. Bit of spicy leafy bitterness. A tad thin overall maybe and it tails off flavour wise on the finish. Ok enough.

Bottle. Ringstead Stores. Mostly clear coppery amber. Suds of beige. Looks dead. Nose has a whiff of malt and hops alongside some wet cardboard action. Taste is utterly nondescript. I mean there’s nothing happening. Watery and incredibly bland. Pointless.

Can. Bakers and Larners of Holt. Lovely can label. Hazed straw gold. Foamy sticky lasting white head. Nose has pineapple and sweet grapefruit. Bit of stone fruit. Clean dry grain. Taste is moderately dry and lightly bitter. Clean crisp mouthfeel with brisk fizz. Lean bitter finish. Nice sessioner. I am partial to a Duration.
