Bottled, 330ml a present from my son. Gushing Gold amber with white head. There is a fruity, yeasty aroma from this, pear drop notes in the flavour, again yeasty, floral, quite sweet. The palate is reasonably heavy, sticky with a soft carbonation despite the volcanic pour. Decent.

Cask, Chelmsford Ale House, 18th April 2015. White lacing. Golden appeaeance. Fruity Aroma. Mangos by the bomb load, orange peel, tart orange, light coriander and marmalade. Juicy. Session stuff. Great drinkability. Clean too.

330ml bottle from ales by mail. Pours clear golden amber, short-lived white head. Aromas of malt, orange. Taste is light yeast, more oranges, light spice. Thin finish.

33cl bottle bb11/2014, Belgian crossover themed box courtesy of idiosynkrasie. Shy, but still pleasant orchard fruit peel notes in aroma, particularly pear, banana and some quince give way to a full-on brown mushroom disaster in taste: astringency of humid autumn wood earth, decomposing leaves, nut peels, fungoid mushroom dishwater soap. Parallel mouthfeel, stale unpleasantness. This beer seems to be rebelling against the tastiness of IPA and Belgian ale styles at the same time. Doubt this held up too well during its Cross-channel expedition, but to be fair when you call your 5,5% Belgian Urban IPA "Intercontinental Inspired Pale Ale" combining BE and US styles from a Welsh vantage point, the conflation of terroirs and provincial punk is bound to enter at some point? (To be even more fair: while the beer does not seem infected, some yeast residue was stuck to the cap, pouring a dirty copper.) Will retry on tap when exploring Milkwood. P.S. Multiple non-saison Belgian associations with this brewery’s base being in a Maesglas.

Draught at Jerntorgets Brygghus, Gothenburg. A bit hazy golden beer with a offwhite head. Hoppy, fruity aroma with some grassy notes. Hoppy, yeasty and a bit grassy flavour and some fruity notes.

Bottle shared in London - picked up at Kris Wines ages ago. Gusher!!! Pours clear gold with a creamy white head. The aroma has lots of pale wood, some pine, rindy citrus.

Lightly drying on the finish with further dry pine needles, pale wood, lots of bitter, dried citrus rind. Not bad.
