(Bottled) The bottle LABEL has the insinuation of cricket stumps being broken and the beer is called Collingwood , I assume they’re giving props to former England cricketer Paul Collingwood ? unlsess you know something else . The beer is the same color as his hair , Collingwood was tough and dogged ..this beer isnt either ...rich caramel and butterscotch malts,and peppery hoppiness ...some fruity acidity ...not bad i guess. Subdued

Pours thinly veiled straw with a flat white top. Spicy yeast, apple strudel, polished pine aroma. More apple strudel spiciness on the palate, light pine needle, TCP splashes, warm polythene. Some hop punch to finish. Bit White Shield. Slight lime and cheese. Decent, yeasty old school IPA-type thing.
