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.

Can. Mitchell’s Wines. Hazed pale gold. Bit of a scummy white foam. Pretty sure gluten free bevs don’t necessarily make for a decent swede. Bit of citrus and “dank”. Tad oaty. Fair sweetness overall. Drinks fine enough overall but it’s pulling up no trees.

Bottle. Beer Stop Dronfield. Kernel #502. Missed the 500th 🤦🏻♂️ Anyway. Hazed glowing pale gold. Kernel swede, obviously, albeit a tad looser than on a pale or an IPA. Lots of mosaic forward fruity notes going well this the yeasty esters. Touch of dryness and a clean mouthfeel further pulling it all together. Never a favourite style but this got sank pretty quick.
