Bottle. Mills online. Very little bit gushy. Sits mostly clear pale gold. Huge swede settles nicely to a sticky slim glossy foam. Nose has huge brett. Oak. Mills bugs. Some fusty citrus. Taste has some sweetness before it gets bitter and pithy. Big mouthfeel. Foamy and bright. Bretty bitterness to finish. Simple but massively tasty and drinkable.

Bottle via the online shop. Slightly muddy pale gold. Slim off white foam. Loads of barrel here. Oaky and vinous. Some oxidation. Taste has a fruity sweetness. Bit of booze. Slick and oily. Not particularly saison like. Nevertheless it’s a 2 year BA job and it’s not boring and also I love Buxton despite whatever is happening.

Can. Buxton online shop. Hazed pale gold. Good sticky white foam. Nice looker (see pic). Nicely bright vibrant NZ hoppage. Lightly creamy malts without going down the milky route. Decent bitterness as per Buxton pow wows. Nice one. Smashed it before I really thought too much about it tbh.

Can. Home Bargains. £1.49 my dang. Mostly clear orangey gold. Slim sticky just off white swede. Big Nectaron hoppage here. No shortage for sure. Sweet malt backdrop. Smells sweet. Further notes of spicy biscuit and well ripe citrus. Taste is similarly sweet with a fair pithy bitterness. Decent body overall. A tad sticky maybe. Bitter finish with some welcome dryness. Can’t complain really. Not same league as the Kiwi job though.

Can. Home Bargains. Looks like it was packaged 3 weeks ago. Hazed pale gold. Decent white suds stay the course. Nose has a pissy grapey twang. Pale grain. Some oats. Some pithy citrus. Taste has a moderate sweetness with pithy bitterness. Light and fairly clean overall. Dries out toward the finish. Nice and fresh and at £1.49 a pop it’s a bit of a winner.

Bottle. Bee, Darnall. Looks like healthy piss. Apple ice pop and some faint grassy notes. Syrup. Sweetener. Some dung, bizarrely. Thin and sweet. Good burps though. Did a few chugs and it went down the sink.
