Can. Buxton online. First half was mostly clear gold. Second half was super murky. Lovely dense white head. Goes a bit tits up after that. It’s basically a sweet syrupy boozy mess with no evidence of NZ hops or any particular brewing or packaging skill. It’s just cheap and nasty and it’s pretty heartbreaking that Buxton are reduced to putting out shit like this.

Bottle at De Dolle. One of 180 produced so well chuffed to land this. Very hazy glowing orange. Solid leggy swede. Looks the beans. Imagine Dulle Teve with grape sorbet mashed up in it that turns out drinking like pop. That’s this. Mad and glorious.

Bottle at De Dolle. In fact we ended up with two bottles and I’ve no idea why, but that’s what happens when you’re having a session in De Dolle. Hazy deep orangey pink. Decent swede. Muted cherry and cherry stone. Bretty and fruity. Drinks well.

Bottle split with the missus at da Droom. Mostly clear dark ruby red. Pale pink foam. Looks good. Lots of fruit and nicely vinous but the acidity here made it hard work.

Bottle picked up at Boerenerf a while ago. Rich dark cherry and bourbon. Hints of dark chocolate. Pretty indulgent overall drinking super easy.

Bottle split with the missus at Boerenerf. Lightly misted gold. No head. Lots of sweet grape. Must and oak. Super drinkable cleansing and refreshing. Smashed down with aplomb.

Bottle split with the missus at Boerenerf. Deep ruby red. Pink foam reduces to a slim ring. Rich with vanilla and sweet bourbon. Some notes of dark chocolate. Pretty scary easy drinking with minimal acidity. Ace.
