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

Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines. Mostly clear orange amber. Good off white foam. Nose has ginger biscuit malts and orangey brett. Taste is a little sweet and malty first with a prickly bitterness. Foamy and fresh on the palate. Nice bretty orange peel bitterness to finish. Has a feel of a fresh Orval about it. Great stuff.

UT rate. As always with TT it’s a mega easy drinking bev. Pineapple and light oak with a refreshing and semi dry semi tart juicy character. Ace.

UT rate. Typically smashable TT bev, with (I’m guessing) the green papaya giving an almost savoury spicy vibe. Then there’s the fruit and vanilla that proper gets the juices flowing. Awesome stuff.
