Abv: 7%

Served : From the fridge

Aroma: Bread, herb, hint of apple and spice

Pour: Hazy gold with frothy white head

Taste: Yeasty wash with overtures of lime and clove spice. A slight citrus bite at the finish with pepper notes and predominantly sage on the aftertaste. This is a lovely, aromatic and very drinkable saison given the ABV.

Abv: 4.5%

Served: From the fridge

Aroma: Caramel, malt, pine

Pour: Cloudy dark amber with beige froth reducing to a skim

Taste: Biscuit wash with slight spice and then some lemon and pine notes. Nice medium bitter finish with decent balance and bite. This is a perfectly respectable IPA.

Abv: 4.5%

Served: From the fridge

Aroma: Straw, nuts, malt, faint cherry

Pour: Clear light brown with a finger of off white froth

Taste: Light smoky malts with nutty fruits in the background. There’s a hint of cherry in the finish with a crisp bite but no apricots anywhere. A decent little brew if a little middling flavourwise.

Notes: 500ml bottle, sour cherries, apricots, brown ale, seasonal brew

Abv: 5.8%

Served: From the fridge

Aroma: Light toffee, floral notes, tea

Pour: Dark tea brown with a hint of rose and off white finger of froth

Taste: Some caramel malt upfront before a wash of floral sweetness from the hibiscus and then a bitter hop bite to end on. Lots of pine and lemony tartness with a medium dry kick. This is a good variant IPA, nice balance on the malt and hops with subtle notes of tropics with citrusy afters.

Abv: 7.2%

Served: From the fridge

Aroma: Pine, mandarin, faint porridge

Pour: Cloudy amber with bubbling white froth reducing to skim

Taste: Big citrus kick with an underlying tropical sweetness, subtle fruit and honey notes, some pineapple and then a lovely dry pine cone bite of hops. Aftertaste is sweet and cedar. Top notch brew.

Abv: 4.7%

Served: From the fridge

Aroma: Grapefruit, watermelon

Pour: Opaque amber with a finger of white foam

Taste: Light toffee malt to begin with but swiftly put to bed by the grapefruit wash. Lovely tropical notes floating around with the tart citrusy grapefruit. Ends on a medium dry bite. Some sweetness in the aftertaste. Not the best beer they’ve done but not bad either.

Notes: 500ml bottle

Abv: 4.9%

Served: From the fridge

Aroma: Salt, straw, summer fruits

Pour: Rose tinged amber with bubbling down pinky white froth

Taste: Holy feck there’s some whack of salty fruit, a bit weird, lots of grass and straw immediately after it and a very light heat from the coriander. Ends on a mildly sweet tartness with aftertaste of faint blackcurrant.

Notes: 330ml can, blackcurrants, sea salt, ground coriander seeds

Abv: 6.1%

Served: From the fridge

Aroma: Spice, grass, lemon

Pour: Hazy yellow with frothy white head

Taste: First wash is doughy bread with some herbal notes underneath. There’s a very light spice that appears then before the final citrus dry bite. A lovely hazy sup, they’ve created something unique here and they know it.

Notes: 330ml can, European hops, German lager yeast, Belgian saison yeast, Pale malt.
