750ml bottle. A Xmas gift from Hydes, ages ago. Clear cola brown. Zero head. Nose has wine barrel. Some hedgerow berry. Oud Bruin sweet yeast. Bit of a jam on well done granary toast thing. Taste is light sweet with a little dryness. Very moderate heat from the pepper. Light vinous acidity. Decent body. Fine carbonation. Quite juicy fruity balsamic like finish.

Can. Waitrose. Lovely label, which to be honest is probably why I bought it. Hazed up medium orange gold. Soppy white foam. Looks boss. Nose has nicely fresh citrus hoppage. Bit of pineapple. Light Nelson twang. Thankfully light on the oats. Taste is semi sweet with a decent citrus bitterness. Drinks easy and clean. Moderate bitterness to finish.

Bottle. Waitrose. Nearly black. Magnificent Kernel swede looks like it’s a nitro pour job. Easy 10. Nose has dark chocolate maple caramel chocolate. Some hefty char. Scorched sugared grapefruit. Taste is fruity ashy woody bitter. Some dryness. Good body with very fine carbonation which also gives a nod toward a nitro pour. It’s pretty silky and a tad unusual for it. There’s a juicy grapefruit bitterness that builds throughout and lingers on the finish. Outstanding beer despite the fine carbonation and one I will be filling a basket with very soon.

Bottle. Waitrose. 3%. Hazed gold. Lovely Kernel swede. Light pineapple tinged hop. Mineral. Bit of peach stone. Light bitterness. Very refreshing and super easy drinking. Lots of flavour for the minuscule ABV. Dry-ish finish. Good gear.

Bottle. RAD Beer. Nice to see some Fantome back over here. Behaved itself on opening. Sits hazed gold. Solid white swede. Unmistakably Fantome on the nose. Soft spice. Pepper and maybe some lime leaf. Who knows. Taste is semi sweet with a light dryness and a light bitterness. Spicy yeasty finish. Easy drinking affair in really good nick.

Bottle. Xmas gift from the missus. Hazed gold. Slim off white foam. Nose has generic saison yeast characteristics. Taste is dry and verges on vinegary. Thin and pretty lifeless. Tart almost vinegar finish. I’d be embarrassed if I were Mills having my name on this shite.

Can. Mitchell’s Wines. Looks well. Nearly black. Solid beige foam. Smells like shit cake. Taste is dry bitter and acrid. Thin and dry. Thin dry finish. Shite. Sumptuous, my arse.
