Paper wrapped 750. Doddington Hall Farm Shop. Nose has grape skin and must. Nice sweet oak barrel character. Touch of lemon and lime. Taste has some vanilla sweetness up front. Nice juicy edge. Flicker of tartness. Creamy on the palate. Fruity grape led juicy finish.

Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines. Hazed yellow with a decent shiny white foam. Wheaty and smoky notes first. Distinctly herbal (that’ll be the bay, then). Some lemon rind. Taste has a modicum of sweetness but overall it’s quite bitter with lots of lemon peel and herb forward hop leaf. Nicely creamy mouthfeel. Bitter finish tempered by some wheaty sweetness. Didn’t mind the bitterness here. Kind of a wheat beer / IPA hybrid thing.

750ml bottle. Doddington Hall Farm Shop. Light haze on a pale gold. Very decent sturdy white foam. Nose is quite mineraly up front, surprisingly. Lightly wheaty pale malt. Hops come across slightly astringent and a little lime like. Taste is well balanced sweet pale grain and piquant leafy hop bitter. Solid mouthfeel with some oiliness. Fine to brisk rolling carbonation. Lime leaf hop bitterness to finish. Super tasty gear and nicely out of the ordinary.

Bottle. Not too sure where from. Possibly HOTM. Deep pink. Baby pink swede. Nose has Parma Violet sweets. Cherry Lips. Vanilla. Light oak. Black cherry Longley Farm yoghurt. Taste has a lovely fruity sweetness with a light funky tart character. Super soft foamy mouthfeel. No acidity here. Juicy sweet clean lightly funky finish. Stunner. Best BS bev in ages.

Bottle. A gift from Totnes. The person not the place. Misted pale gold. Voluminous swede settles to a thin lasting job. Bit of a buggy twang here. Also pale dry malt and some light lemony peachy hop. Taste is fairly dry and light bitter. Light body with high carbonation (definitely a bit buggy). Light dry light bitter finish. Wonky but decent enough. Refreshing if nowt else
