Can via the online shop. Medium haze on a dark yellow gold. Nice thick swede. Nose has sweet grain and oats. Some tangy hop. Tastes decent with a fair bitterness but it’s not popping particularly.

Bottle. Beer Stop Dronfield. Lightly hazed pale gold. Very decent Kernel swede. Nose has some lime and a nettle leaf thing. Dessert like Sabro. Clean grain backdrop. Taste is light bitter. Crisp and bright on the palate. Fine sharp fizz. Nice pithy finish. Went in about 4 gulps.

Bottle via the online shop. Hazed glowing gold. Slim dense lasting semi leggy white foam. Nose has powdered coconut on top of lemon and lime drizzle cake. Loads of Mills bugs and Burgundy barrel. Super clean and easy throughout. Foamy carbonation. Hop bitterness to finish. As per the best Mills it’s complex but easy drinking all at once. Beautiful bev.

Can via the online shop. Looks like meringue. Loose white foam. Nose is all green hop and milky shite. Wow, it’s like Verdant hops all over again. I just realised why ordering a case of beer when already on the beer is a bad idea. Oh, and onions. Christ.

Can via the online shop. Hazed pale gold. Frothy white head. Nose has oats and green hop. Very sweet and a little heavy on the palate. Some bitterness to finish. Hang on? Thought these were supposed to be the dog’s bollocks? I’ve had Verdant more drinkable.

Can via the online shop. Bought a shit load on the strength of some of the good ratings on here. Starting with the oldest, canned 3 whole months ago. Got to say it looks boss. Opaque glowing gold. Very tidy swede is lasting and lacing. Nose is peach and apricot. Some ripe orange. Whiff of lime peel. Lightly oaty wheaty backdrop. Taste has its fair share of sweetness with just about enough pithy bitterness to level things up. Decent full mouthfeel. Bitterness rises on the finish. Solid without being spectacular, although that 12 weeks in the tin might be something to do with that.

Bottle. Beer Stop Dronfield. Nearly black. Stunning beige Kernel swede. Easy 10. Medium roast coffee bean. Ash. Dark stewed fruit. Touch of fruit cake mix. Taste is earthy ashy dry and bitter. Lovely fullness on the palate staying dry bitter and porter-ish. Lingering bitter finish. Stunner.
